Leave Out All The Rest

LETRA

Leave Out All The Rest

I dreamt I was missing, you were so scared
But no one would listen, ’cause no one else cared
After my dreaming, I woke with this fear:
What am I leaving when I am done here?
So if you’re asking me,
I want you to know….

When my time comes, forget the wrong that I’ve done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
And don’t resent me, when you’re feeling empty
Keep me in your memory, and leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest; don’t be afraid
I’ve taken my beating, I’ve shared what I’ve made
I’m strong on the surface, not all the way through
I’ve never been perfect, but neither have you
So if you’re asking me,
I want you to know….

When my time comes, forget the wrong that I’ve done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
Don’t resent me, and when you’re feeling empty
Keep me in your memory, and leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest…

Forgetting all the hurt inside that you’ve learned to hide so well
Pretending someone else can come and save me from myself
I can’t be who you are
When my time comes, forget the wrong that I’ve done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
Don’t resent me, and when you’re feeling empty
Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest…

Forgetting all the hurt inside you’ve learned to hide so well
Pretending someone else can come and save me from myself
I can’t be who you are
I can’t be who you are…
