Covered As: Something I Can Never Have by Chiasm
Something I Can Never Have by Flyleaf
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知 down to just one thing
And I知 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 color if I had a heart
Come on tell me

You make this all go away
You make this all go away
I知 down to just one thing
And I知 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知 down to just one thing
And I知 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
Pretty Hate Machine

how can you do so much with such a low budget? trent, you are insane. manson puts it nicely " the weak ones are there to justify the strong"

it's hard for me to pick a favorite NIN song (considering the fact i like them all) i will have to say this is one of my favorites... BUT, one thing about this song that gets me, the last six lines of the linear notes aren't sung in the song itself... i've always wondered why...

My favorite NIN song that I've heard...I'm not a huge fan, but this CD is up there with my favorites, and this song by far the best I've heard from them...

You should buy the NBK soundtrack. There is nice mix of this track on it.

this song makes me want to curl up into the fetal position and die.

I love it though.
