Never Is A Promise (Live from Sessions at West 54th, New York, NY - November 1997)-Fiona Apple

[00:22.00]You'll never see the courage I know [00:30.00]Its colors' richness won't appear within your view [00:38.00]I'll never glow - the way that you glow [00:47.00]Your presence dominates the judgements made on you [00:55.00]But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights [01:03.00]The shades and shadows undulate in my perception [01:11.00]My feelings swell and stretch; I see from greater heights [01:18.00]I understand what I am still too proud to mention - to you [01:29.00]You'll say you understand, but You don't understand [01:37.00]You'll say you'd never give up seeing eye to eye [01:44.00]But never is a promise, and you can't afford to lie [02:11.00]You'll never touch - these things that I hold [02:20.00]The skin of my emotions lies beneath my own [02:28.00]You'll never feel the heat of this soul [02:36.00]My fever burns me deeper than I've ever shown - to you [02:49.00]You'll say, Don't fear your dreams, it's easier than it seems [02:56.00]You'll say you'd never let me fall from hopes so high [03:02.00]But never is a promise and you can't afford to lie [03:31.00]You'll never live the life that I live [03:40.00]I'll never live the life that wakes me in the night [03:48.00]You'll never hear the message I give [03:55.00]You'll say it looks as though I might give up this fight [04:05.00]But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights [04:12.00]The shades and shadows undulate in my perception [04:20.00]My feelings swell and stretch, I see from greater heights [04:27.00]I realize what I am now too smart to mention - to you [04:41.00]You'll say you understand, you'll never understand [04:49.00]I'll say I'll never wake up knowing how or why [04:57.00]I don't know what to believe in, you don't know who I am [05:06.00]You'll say I need appeasing when I start to cry [05:14.00]But never is a promise and I'll never need a lie
