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.

This is where I want to be.

This is what I need.

This is where I want to be.

This is what I want.

This is where I need to be,

But I know that this will never be mine.

Ooh, the thrill and the hurting.

The thrill and the hurting.

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.

This is where I want

This is what I need to be.

This is where I want

This is what I need to be

This is where I want

But I know that this will never be mine.

Ooh, the thrill and the hurting

The thrill and the hurting

Will never be mine.
