this song shows an emptiness. she has so many other problems (fast car talks about family issues too) that she cant really be SOMEONES because you have to be wholly yours first. the fact that she writes "you never cross my mind, you can be sure" is ironic: shes writing a song about it. its that facade of strength that keeps her HERS, without letting anyone in. Shes saying "never yours" in two ways: 1.) shes showing her 'strength' that no one can ever own her. 2.) shes showing her sadness, that she really hasnt been his and she wishes she had the capacity to be.
