You`ll never see the courage I know
Its colors richness wont 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 dont understand
Youl`l say youd never give up seeing eye to eye
But never is a promise, and you cant 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 Ive ever shown - to you

You`ll say, dont fear your dreams, it`s easier than it seems
You`ll say youd 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 understand, you`ll never understand
I`ll say I`ll never wake up knowing how or why
I dont know what to believe in, 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
