Not Everyone

Read lyrics
Who comes too close and fades away — not everyone
Who steps into your light today — not everyone
Who says a word and means it true — not everyone
Who stays when moments pull them through — not everyone
Who stands too close and disappears — not everyone
Who smiles and drifts into the years — not everyone
Who turns around when you call out — not everyone
Who stays instead of fading out — not everyone
Not everyone stays in your world
Not everyone feels the same
Not everyone holds what you feel
Not everyone knows your name
Not everyone comes back again
Some are only passing through
Not everyone stays with you
So I don’t try to make them stay — not everyone
I let the moment drift away — not everyone
Some are only passing light — not everyone
In the rhythm of the night — not everyone
Maybe love is not a chain
Maybe it’s a wave
Some just touch your hand in time
Then fade away
Not everyone stays in your world
Not everyone feels the same
Not everyone holds what you feel
Not everyone knows your name
Not everyone comes back again
Some are only passing through
Not everyone belongs to you
