     Fiona Apple, "Never is a promise"
     Album: (unknown album)
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 judgments 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'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 promise
and you can't afford to lie

You'll never live the life that I liveI'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 need appeasing
when I start to cry
But never is a promise
and I'll never need a lie
