[00:22]You'll never see the courage I know
[00:30]Its colors' richness won't appear within your view
[00:38]I'll never glow - the way that you glow
[00:47]Your presence dominates the judgements made on you
[00:55]But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights
[01:03]The shades and shadows undulate in my perception
[01:11]My feelings swell and stretch; I see from greater heights
[01:18]I understand what I am still too proud to mention - to you
[01:29]You'll say you understand, but You don't understand
[01:37]You'll say you'd never give up seeing eye to eye
[01:44]But never is a promise, and you can't afford to lie
[02:11]You'll never touch - these things that I hold
[02:20]The skin of my emotions lies beneath my own
[02:28]You'll never feel the heat of this soul
[02:36]My fever burns me deeper than I've ever shown - to you
[02:49]You'll say, Don't fear your dreams, it's easier than it seems
[02:56]You'll say you'd never let me fall from hopes so high
[03:02]But never is a promise and you can't afford to lie
[03:31]You'll never live the life that I live
[03:40]I'll never live the life that wakes me in the night
[03:48]You'll never hear the message I give
[03:55]You'll say it looks as though I might give up this fight
[04:05]But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights
[04:12]The shades and shadows undulate in my perception
[04:20]My feelings swell and stretch, I see from greater heights
[04:27]I realize what I am now too smart to mention - to you
[04:41]You'll say you understand, you'll never understand
[04:49]I'll say I'll never wake up knowing how or why
[04:57]I don't know what to believe in, you don't know who I am
[05:06]You'll say I need appeasing when I start to cry
[05:14]But never is a promise and I'll never need a lie
