Never is a promise de Fiona Apple

You'll never see
the courage I know
Its colors' richness
won't appear within your view
I'll 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

You'll say you understand
But you don't understand
You'll say you'd never
Give up seeing eye to eye
But never is a promise
And you can't afford to lie

You'll never touch
these things that I hold
The skin of my emotions
Lies beneath my own
You'll never feel
The heat of this soul
My fever burns me deeper
Than I've ever shown
To you

You'll say don't fear your dreams
It's easier than it seems
You'll say you'd never Let me fall
from hopes so high
But never is a promise
And you can't afford to lie

You'll never live
this life that I live
I'll never live the life that wakes me in the night
You'll never hear
the message I give
Youy'll 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 realise what I am now too smart to mention
To you

You'll say you understand
But you'll never understand
I'll say I'll never wake up
Knowing how or why
I don't know what to believe in
You won't know who I am
You'll say I need appeasing
When I start to cry
But never is a promise
And I'll never need a lie.
