Never Is Promise

Youll never see the courage I know Its colors richness wont appear within your view Ill never glow - the way that you glow Your presence dominates the judgements made on you But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights The shades and shadows undulate in my perception My feelings swell and stretch; I see from greater heights I understand what I am still too proud to mention - to you Youll say you understand, but you dont understand Youll say youd never give up seeing eye to eye But never is a promise, and you cant afford to lie Youll never touch - these things that I hold The skin of my emotions lies beneath my own Youll never feel the heat of this soul My fever burns me deeper than Ive ever shown - to you Youll say, dont fear your dreams, its easier than it seems Youll say youd never let me fall from hopes so high But never is a promise and you cant afford to lie Youll never live the life that I live Ill never live the life that wakes me in the night Youll never hear the message I give Youll say it looks as though I might give up this fight But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights The shades and shadows undulate in my perception My feelings swell and stretch, I see from greater heights I realize what I am now too smart to mention - to you Youll say you understand, youll never understand Ill say Ill never wake up knowing how or why I dont know what to believe in, you dont know who I am Youll say I need appeasing when I start to cry But never is a promise and Ill never need a lie
