Never Is A Promise lyrics
by Fiona Apple
You'll never see the courage I knowIts colors' richness won't appear within your viewI'll never glow - the way that you glowYour presence dominates the judgements made on youBut as the scenery grows, I see in different lightsThe shades and shadows undulate in my perceptionMy feelings swell and stretch; I see from greater heightsI understand what I am still too proud to mention - to youYou'll say you understand, but You don't understandYou'll say you'd never give up seeing eye to eyeBut never is a promise, and you can't afford to lieYou'll never touch - these things that I holdThe skin of my emotions lies beneath my ownYou'll never feel the heat of this soulMy fever burns me deeper than I've ever shown - to youYou'll say, Don't fear your dreams, it's easier than it seemsYou'll say you'd never let me fall from hopes so highBut never is a promise and you can't afford to lieYou'll never live the life that I liveI'll never live the life that wakes me in the nightYou'll never hear the message I giveYou'll say it looks as though I might give up this fightBut as the scenery grows, I see in different lightsThe shades and shadows undulate in my perceptionMy feelings swell and stretch, I see from greater heightsI realize what I am now too smart to mention - to youYou'll say you understand, you'll never understandI'll say I'll never wake up knowing how or whyI don't know what to believe in, you don't know who I amYou'll say I need appeasing when I start to cryBut never is a promise and I'll never need a lie
