Текст Fiona Apple – Never Is A Promise

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
This 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 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 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
