Song lyrics

Send "Something I Can Never Have" ringtones to your cell

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
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

You always were the one to show me how
Back then I couldn't do things that I can do now
This thing is slowly taking me apart
Grey would be the color 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
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

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
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
I just want something I can never have

51 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Oh my god, this is like such an incredible song! The mood it sets is unbeatable and if you can kind of relate to the lyrics (which I sadly enough totally can) this is just the soundtrack to a period of your life. Bloody brilliant! (Even litterally)

7 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I love Nine Inch Nails. Trent Reznor has literally saved my life. The first time I ever head this song I listened to it on repeat for a good hour or two. There's just so many ways you can relate to it. A few yrs back I saw him solo and unplugged, and he played this song, and it was so breathtakingly beautiful...I dunno. it changed my life.
