NIN "Something I can Never Have" Lyrics

Sometimes we all think what would have happened if we had made different decision on 'life's journey' ...what would have happened? - would we still recognize the person we are now ...would we more importantly recognize that person we had become ?

At the core of us all, are our fears..and our hopes (Album title in there somewhere methinks)

I can remember a 'single' point in my existence when I decided on this journey I have taken ...and for that I am relieved... That at that moment 'I was strong enough' to realize that destiny had took me in her arms.


'Something I Can Never Have'

I still recall
The taste of your tears
Echoing your voice
Just like the ringing in my ears
My favorite dreams of you
Still wash ashore
Scraping through my head
'Till I don't want to sleep anymore

You make this all go away
You make this all go away
I'm down to just one thing
And I'm starting to scare myself
You make this all go away
You make this all go away

I just want something
I just want something
I can never have


You always were the one
To show me how
Back then
I couldn't do the things
That I can do now
This thing
Is slowly taking me apart
Grey would be the colour
If I had a heart

Come on tell me
You make this all go away
You make this all go away
I'm down to just one thing
And I'm starting to scare myself
You make this all go away
You make this all go away

I just want something
I just want something
I can never have


In this place
It seems like such a shame
Though it all looks different now,
I know it's still the same
Everywhere I look
You're all I see
Just a fading fucking reminder
Of who I used to be

Come on tell me
You make this all go away
You make this all go away
I'm down to just one thing
And I'm starting to scare myself
You make this all go away
You make it all go away

I just want something
I just want something
I can never have
I just want something
I can never have
