NEVER IS A PROMISE

you'll never see the courage i know its colours' richness won't appear within your view i'll never glow the way that you glow your presence dominates the judgements made on you CHORUS but as the scenery grows i see in diferent lights the shades and shadows undulate in my perception my feelings swell and strech i see i see from greater heights i understand what i am still too proud to mention, to you you'll say you unnderstand 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'lll 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 thatn 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 say it looks as though i might give up this fight CHORUS 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 say i need appeasing when i start to cry but never is a promise and i'll never need a lie
