What I'll Never Have

[00:01.83] Ya
[00:04.56] Ay
[00:08.51] Oh
[00:09.99] (That's a good one ha)
[00:12.05] If I write a hundred songs I don't believe
[00:16.08] Is it better than not writing anything
[00:18.99] If somebody else can benefit from me
[00:21.26] Do I have to be happy
[00:24.45] If I write a song for you but you don't listen
[00:27.44] Do I really have to play it if you'll miss it
[00:30.65] How can I think about being altruistic
[00:33.25] If I'm not even happy
[00:36.18] Am I bound to the grave
[00:38.84] Are they bound to degrade
[00:41.71] Do I have to take aim
[00:44.08] Or do I simulate
[00:47.83] Play life like the motions
[00:50.42] Keep choosing emotions
[00:53.35] Always pressing on the gas
[00:56.87] Giving you what I'll never have
[00:59.78] I stare at the ceiling
[01:02.70] Filling spaces with feeling
[01:05.29] Touch the future for the past
[01:08.43] Giving you what I'll never have
[01:11.63] If I write a hundred songs that I don't follow
[01:15.19] How can anybody treat em as the gospel
[01:18.08] Can I fill another heart if mine is hollow
[01:20.60] How can I create happiness
[01:23.80] If I tried to write a song just for myself
[01:26.97] Then I'm the only person it would help
[01:29.84] But instead I may help everybody else
[01:32.27] Should I even be happy (yet)
[01:35.73] Am I bound to self sacrifice
[01:38.65] Just to try to save someone's life
[01:41.25] That I'll never know
[01:43.18] And hope and pray they don't
[01:46.58] Play life like the motions
[01:49.76] Keep choosing emotions
[01:52.67] Always pressing on the gas
[01:56.06] Giving you what I'll never have
[01:59.02] I stare at the ceiling
[02:01.81] Filling spaces with feeling
[02:05.06] Touch the future for the past
[02:07.95] Giving you what I'll never have
[02:10.88] If I write a hundred songs I don't believe
[02:14.26] Is it better than not writing anything
[02:17.49] If somebody else can benefit from me
[02:19.82] Shouldn't that make me happy
[02:22.99]
