Something I Will Never Have (Lyrics)

We talked in quiet futures, drawn on paper dreams,
Names that never formed, but lived between the seams.
You smiled and said, “One day, just not tonight,”
And I believed you — oh, I always might.

Each time I thought the moment came,
It slipped like smoke, it lost its name.
I held a picture in my mind,
But love and timing fell behind.

It’s something I will never have,
A piece of life I can’t go back.
You said “someday,” and I heard “soon,”
But someday never filled the room.
Still, I trace the dream we had —
Something I will never have.

I watched the years roll through your eyes,
Chasing work, and chasing skies.
And though I knew you loved me true,
I loved the thought of more than you.

We built our home on maybe’s sand,
A cradle carved from open hands.
Each time the world could make it right,
You turned away, I dimmed the light.

It’s something I will never have,
A piece of life I can’t go back.
You said “someday,” and I heard “soon,”
But someday never filled the room.
Still, I trace the dream we had —
Something I will never have.

And it’s no one’s fault, no promises broke,
Just words unspoken, the ones that choke.
You wanted time, I wanted more,
Now silence guards the nursery door.

It’s something I will never have,
A piece of life I can’t go back.
You said “someday,” and I heard “soon,”
But someday never filled the room.
Still, I trace the dream we had —
Something I will never have.

It’s something I will never have,
And yet I love the thought we had.
I still can see your shadow’s hue,
The life that almost made it through.
Some hopes just fade, but never pass —
Something I will never have.
