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 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 live

I'll never live the life
That wakes me in the night
You'll never hear

The message I give
Youy'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 realise 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 won'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
