|
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 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 pormise 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, but you don't 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
|
