What I'll Never Have
Ya
Ay
Oh
(That's a good one ha)
If I write a hundred songs I don't believe
Is it better than not writing anything
If somebody else can benefit from me
Do I have to be happy
If I write a song for you but you don't listen
Do I really have to play it if you'll miss it
How can I think about being altruistic
If I'm not even happy
Am I bound to the grave
Are they bound to degrade
Do I have to take aim
Or do I simulate
Play life like the motions
Keep choosing emotions
Always pressing on the gas
Giving you what I'll never have
I stare at the ceiling
Filling spaces with feeling
Touch the future for the past
Giving you what I'll never have
If I write a hundred songs that I don't follow
How can anybody treat em as the gospel
Can I fill another heart if mine is hollow
How can I create happiness
If I tried to write a song just for myself
Then I'm the only person it would help
But instead I may help everybody else
Should I even be happy (yet)
Am I bound to self sacrifice
Just to try to save someone's life
That I'll never know
And hope and pray they don't
Play life like the motions
Keep choosing emotions
Always pressing on the gas
Giving you what I'll never have
I stare at the ceiling
Filling spaces with feeling
Touch the future for the past
Giving you what I'll never have
If I write a hundred songs I don't believe
Is it better than not writing anything
If somebody else can benefit from me
Shouldn't that make me happy
