Not Every Love Is Meant to Stay

Time goes by, and I've come to see

Not every hug is meant to shield me

The ones who claim to love can harm

And those who hurt can bring you calm

If life's a lesson, I'll learn today

Not every love is meant to stay

Time reveals who's truly near

And who just leaves the pain to hear

Words may fly but leave a trace

Shallow vows just fade in place

The ones who swear with hearts untrue

Will someday turn and lie to you

If life's a lesson, I'll learn today

Not every love is meant to stay

Time reveals who's truly near

And who just leaves the pain to hear

Between the truths they try to hide

And all the lies I've set aside

Good and bad can look the same

It all depends on who's to blame

Between the truths they try to hide

And all the lies I've set aside

Good and bad can look the same

It all depends on who's to blame

If life's a lesson, I'll learn today

Not every love is meant to stay

Time reveals who's truly near

And who just leaves the pain to hear

If life's a lesson, I'll learn today

Not every love is meant to stay

Time reveals who's truly near

And who just leaves the pain to hear
