Never Had It - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I see you sit and swallow pain

For all of those who will not speak

You raise your voice, you fill the stage

Your eyes are wide, you know the weakness

That you've felt is not just yours

So many more, you're not alone

The songs you sing are not your own

You left the room with something real

[Chorus]

You never had it (You never had it)

Keep on wantin' somethin' more (Keep on wantin' somethin' more)

You never had it (You never had it)

Keep on wantin' somethin' more (Keep on wantin')

[Verse 2]

You never had it, so you hesitate to try and find it

You listen carefully for whispers of what lurks behind it

You play the corners, never get too close to where it might be

Waiting for you, never had it, keep on wantin' somethin' more

(Keep wantin' more, you never had it)

Keep hiding the hope and then the pain is not yours

No one's holding the rope, you gotta pull it on your own

All the songs have been sung and all the doors have been closed

Keep on wantin' more (Keep on wantin')

[Interlude]

Keep on wantin'

You keep on wantin'

Keep on wantin'

You keep on wantin'

[Verse 3]

And I watch you wander through these halls

You slouch, you shrug, you shrink away

And I call, you stop, you blink, you pause

You wonder who, you think the day

Will never end and when it does

You wait until the building's dark

The doors are locked, you're on the bus

You looked inside, but did not touch

[Chorus]

You never had it (You never had it)

Keep on wantin' somethin' more (Keep on wantin' somethin' more)

You never had it (You never had it)

Keep on wantin' somethin' more (Keep on wantin')

[Verse 4]

You never had it, but you know how to provide it, so you

Stand up and call for it, nervous describing what you go through

You don't wanna get caught up in all the things they say to try to provoke you

Don't need anyone to tell you, keep on wantin' something more

(Keep wantin' more, you never had it)

Keep hiding the hope and then the pain is not yours

No one's holding the rope, you gotta pull it on your own

All the songs have been sung and all the doors have been closed

Keep on wantin' more (Keep on wantin')
