Never is a promise de Fiona Apple

You´ll never see the courage I know

Its colors richness wont 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 dont understand

You´ll say youd never give up seeing eye to eye

But never is a promise, and you cant 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, dont fear your dreams, its easier than it seems

You´ll say youd never let me fall from hopes so high

But never is a promise , and you cant afford to lie

You´ll never live the life that I live

I´ll never live the life that wakes me in the night

You´ll never hear the message I give

You´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 realize 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 dont know what to believe in, you dont 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
