Something I Can Never Have
Looking back I remember the salty tracks down my cheeks
Back when I had enough in me to cry
The noise in my head sounds so much like you
And the happy memories wash over me, drown me, but I never die
Only you can bring me back from this brink
Even if I should say no to the next drink
Your sweet words can save this old clown
You can’t always have what you want… I want the impossible
You tried to guide me, you pushed me on
I’m not now who I was then and I’m lost
Memories of you make me want to pull out my heart
Without you I am as cold as this marble slab
And I know that this is my station, my place
What a waste, though time has moved on
You are my every waking moment, every sour taste, and every bitter sweet goodbye
I look back to those summer days and raise my collar to this winter breeze
Only you can make the sun shine again
How long till I disappear from this sane world
Help me please I am on my knees begging you
I want you, I breathe for you, bleed for you, our stains are old
Our stains are washed away, bled away and grown over
I walk away from your grave and hang my head.
