never_is_a_promise squint 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, its 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 -fiona apple 020803 ... jg sullen_girl 020803 ... nah....! i have always loved this song to the highest degree, and i always will. 020803 ...
