[Verse 1] I almost deadbolted the whole idea of we. Then you didn’t blink when I told you the ugly. Not a speech. Not a fix. Just stayed in the room you wouldn’t let me lock myself in a tomb. I was ready to lock it and call that grown. You showed me the peace in the seeds I had sown. [Pre-Chorus] I came in armed. You didn’t flinch. That’s the part that turned the hinge. [Chorus] Not everyone comes to collect on the hurt. Not everyone treats the open door like dirt. I had the whole world guilty on sight. You took the charge off a couple of nights. Not everyone. Not this. Some people are why the deadbolt missed. [Verse 2] Same bounce I used to interrogate the dark. Now it rides a little wider in my chest when you talk. I still check the angle. I still count the cost. I just don’t make you pay for a ghost that I lost. You sat in the dark with me and didn’t call it a test. That’s how I learned a stay can still be honest. [Rap] I wrote the world like everybody leaves a key. Then you sat through the list and didn’t make it about me being weak. Not a saint. Not a save. Just a person who stayed. That’s enough to unlearn a little of the blade. Not everyone was a setup dressed like a friend. Some people are the proof the story can bend. [Chorus] Not everyone comes to collect on the hurt. Not everyone treats the open door like dirt. I had the whole world guilty on sight. You took the charge off a couple of nights. Not everyone. Not this. Some people are why the deadbolt missed. [Outro] Not everybody was a warning. Some people are why I didn’t stay locked.
