Fiona Apple - Never Is A Promise Lyrics
Never is a promiseYoull never see the courage I knowIts colors richness wont appear within your viewIll never glow - the way that you glowYour presence dominates the judgements made on youBut as the scenery grows, I see in different lightsThe shades and shadows undulate in my perceptionMy feelings swell and stretch; I see from greater heightsI understand what I am still too proud to mention - to youYoull say you understand, but you dont understandYoull say youd never give up seeing eye to eyeBut never is a promise, and you cant afford to lieYoull never touch - these things that I holdThe skin of my emotions lies beneath my ownYoull never feel the heat of this soulMy fever burns me deeper than Ive ever shown - to youYoull say, dont fear your dreams, its easier than it seemsYoull say youd never let me fall from hopes so highBut never is a promise and you cant afford to lieYoull never live the life that I liveIll never live the life that wakes me in the nightYoull never hear the message I giveYoull say it looks as though I might give up this fightBut as the scenery grows, I see in different lightsThe shades and shadows undulate in my perceptionMy feelings swell and stretch, I see from greater heightsI realize what I am now too smart to mention - to youYoull say you understand, youll never understandIll say Ill never wake up knowing how or whyI dont know what to believe in, you dont know who I amYoull say I need appeasing when I start to cryBut never is a promise and Ill never need a lie
