}} '''''"Something I Can Never Have''"''' is the fifth track on the 1989 release ''[[Pretty Hate Machine]].'' It's a song about lost love and missed chances, though the true story about the song isn't wildly (or at all) known. It is the first song in which [[Trent Reznor]] plays a piano and is the first song in which he uses the word "fuck" ("fading fucking reminder").
===Song Credits===
===Something I Can Never Have (''[[Bridge]] Version'')===
The second song on the album, like all the songs from this particular performance, is performed entirely with string instruments and Trent on vocals. No synthetics were used at all during this performance, but the arrangements seem to correlate with extended live version of the song played in concert by Nine Inch Nails.
