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 |
