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

devalis never is a promise. that's why on tests with they have those ALWAYS, SOMETIMES or NEVER questions, it's easy to get them wrong because it's rarely ALWAYS or NEVER because that means it stands through anything. That's what a promise is. 021031
