NEVER IS A PROMISE-FIONA APPLE

Youll never see the courage

I knowIts colors richness wont appear within your view

Ill 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

Youll say you understand, but you dont understand

Youll say youd never give up seeing eye to eye

But never is a promise, and you cant afford to lie

Youll never touch - these things that I hold

The skin of my emotions lies beneath my own

Youll never feel the heat of this soul

My fever burns me deeper than Ive ever shown - to you

Youll say, dont fear your dreams, its easier than it seems

Youll say youd never let me fall from hopes so high

But never is a promise and you cant afford to lie

Youll never live the life that

I liveIll never live the life that wakes me in the night

Youll never hear the message

I giveYoull 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 heightsI realize what

I am now too smart to mention - to you

Youll say you understand, youll never understand

Ill say Ill never wake up knowing how or why

I dont know what to believe in, you dont know who

I amYoull say I need appeasing when

I start to cry

But never is a promise and Ill never need a lie
