Never Wanted

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You take the sum of all the things you hate It's equal to a generation's age You take the sum of all the things you love When was the last time you even thought of those? [Pre-Chorus] But the daily grind of the working stiff Or the hopeless man looking down the cliff What dreams did we forget to wrap up before we came to? Don't you ever wonder how it turned out for you? [Chorus] I never wanted to be either man Caught in the net without a backup plan I never wanted to be either man [Verse 2] You take away the only thing I love Replaced it with a lesser version of Expect me not to tell between the two What were the last words I ever spoke to you? [Pre-Chorus] Like the loyal man, but the passion's gone Empty marriages left to carry on What dreams did we forget to wrap up before we came to? Don't you ever wonder how it turned out for you? [Chorus] I never wanted to be either man Caught in the net without a backup plan I never wanted to be either man [Bridge] So when they ask you When you walk up to those gates How did you spend your time? Was it for love, was it for hate? Was it for nothing? [Verse 3] You take the sum of all the things you hate It's equal to a generation's rage (Was it for nothing?) You take the sum of all the things you love (I never wanted to be) [Chorus] Like the daily grind of the working stiff (I never wanted to be either man) Or the hopeless man looking down the cliff (I never wanted to be either) What dreams did we forget to wrap up before we came to? Don't you ever wonder how it turned out for you? (Don't you ever wonder how it turned out) For you?
