Story Behind The Song
This is not just a song that was written, and you can hear that when you listen. This a true song with real emotions that came out of a real life situation. Nothing is made up in this song, it's completely true and you can hear that in the tortured vocals, the emotion and vibe, it can't be pretend.
Song Description
This is a desolate song about loss. The singer is numb and just trying to accept this loss of a person that they love. It's an introspective look at how it feels to know that what they want will never be.

Lyrics
Never Be
What I want will never be...
Cause everything I want is gone
I never want to be alone
There's silence comin from my phone you see
Cause what is wrong it can't be right
I lie awake and stare at night
And wish that you were here right next to me
But what I want could never be
I try to talk it out with friends
The pain, it never ever ends
With never-ending thoughts of misery
When all the things I want are wrong
And wanting you goes on and on
It's just a fantasy gone wrong you see
Cause what I want could never be
What I want will never be
Cause what I want will never be
