Andrew Slater - Never Is a Promise lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] You'll say you understand, 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 don'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
