Never Is
                                    A Promise

You'll
                                    never see the courage I know
                                    It's 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'd 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
