Never Is A Promise - Live
You'll never see
The courage I know
Its color's 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'll 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'll never let me fall
From hopes so high
But "never" is a promise, and you can't afford
To lie
You'll never live
This 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'll need appeasing
When I start to cry
But "never" is a promise
And I'll never need
A lie
The courage I know
Its color's 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'll 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'll never let me fall
From hopes so high
But "never" is a promise, and you can't afford
To lie
You'll never live
This life that I live
I'll never live the life
That wakes me in the night
You'll never hear

You'll say it looks as though I might give up this fight
But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights

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'll need appeasing
When I start to cry
But "never" is a promise
And I'll never need
A lie
