*NOT EVERYTHING HAS TO COME BACK* *[Verse 1]* Back then, I kept praying For time to rewind somehow Bring back every person Who slipped away without a sound I really thought my happiness Was stuck somewhere back then 'Til I forgot Today still needs me too --- *[Pre-Chorus]* Held on way too tight Couldn't let it go Thought that's what love looked like Turns out... I was just scared to be alone --- *[Chorus]* Not everything has to come back Not every scar needs another chance Some people leave So you can finally learn How to stand on your own Not everything has to come back Even if it used to be my whole world 'Cause some endings Aren't here to punish you They're just opening the door To someone new... Me. --- *[Verse 2]* The places that felt like home Are just addresses now The names I used to call Are quiet memories somehow I'm getting used to This different kind of silence Guess being alone Doesn't always mean lonely --- *[Pre-Chorus]* Little by little I'm finally seeing it The world's not changing It's just my heart Learning how to look at it differently --- *[Chorus]* Not everything has to come back Not every "I miss you" Needs a happy ending Some stories end Just to make room For something better Not everything has to come back Even if I still cry When nobody's around Losing someone Doesn't always mean you lost Sometimes... You just found yourself --- *[Bridge]* And if one day We cross paths again I won't ask For everything to be like before I'll just smile And quietly say... "Thanks." For being A chapter of my life Not the whole story --- *[Final Chorus]* Not everything has to come back Some things are beautiful Because they happened Not because they stayed Today I'm choosing To keep moving Holding the memories Without living inside them Not everything that's gone Needs to find its way back Maybe... The thing I was searching for Was me All along --- *[Outro]* I'm done waiting For people who chose to leave 'Cause now I finally know... Not everything... Has to come back.
