Lyrics for 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 But I know that this will never be mine Ooh, the thrill and the hurting 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 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 But I know that this will never be mine Ooh, the thrill and the hurting The thrill and the hurting Will never be mine This is what I need This is what I want It will never be mine It can never be The thrill and the hurting Will never be mine
