}}'''"Something I Can Never Have"''' is the fifth track on the 1989 release ''[[Pretty Hate Machine]].'' It is apparently a song about lost love and missed chances, though the true story about the song isn't widely (or at all) known. It is the first chronological song in which [[Trent Reznor]] plays a piano and in which he uses the word "fuck" ("fading fucking reminder").
