"Never Have" lyrics

You need, but you'll never have
You dreamed, but you never had the chance to be
What you wanna be
You grasp, but you never hold
You ask, but you're never told
'Cause the truth hurts
This is the modern world

So you bide your time
With your fate resigned
To be paid in kind

You reach, but you never get
You breathe, but you never let the past go
Do you ever learn?
You search, but you never find
You hurt, but you never try to face facts
This is the modern world

So you bide your time
With your fate resigned
To be paid in kind
When the flashbulb dies
And the humdrum thrives
Do you lose your pride?

You need, but you'll never have
You dreamed, but you never had the chance to be
What you wanna be
You grasp, but you never hold
You ask, but you're never told
'Cause the truth hurts
This is the modern world
