You'll never see--the courage I know

Its colours' richness won't appear within your view

I'll never glow--the way that you glow

Your presence dominates the judgments made on you



But sa 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'll 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 Dont 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 cant 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'll unerstand, you'll never understand

I'll say I'll never wake up knowing how or why

I dont know what to believe, you dont 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.
