Fiona Apple - Never Is A Promise lyrics

never is a promise 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 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, 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
