Never Be Mine

Never Be Mine

I look at you and see
My life that might have been:
Your face just ghostly in the smoke
They're setting fire to the cornfields
As you're taking me home

The smell of burning fields
Will now mean you and here

And this is where I want to be
This is what I need
This is where I want to be
This is what I need
This is where I want to be,
And I know that this will never be mine

Ooh, the thrill and the hurtin
The thrill and the hurting
I know that this will never be mine

I want you as the dream,
Not the reality
That clumsy goodbye kiss could fool me,
But I'm looking back over my shoulder
At you, happy without me

Ooh, the thrill and the hurting
Will never be mine
The thrill and the hurting,
This is where I want
But will never be mine

It can never be
The thrill and the hurting
Will never be mine
