leave out all the rest

I dreamed 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'm done here?                                                          

So if you're asking me                                                          
I want you to know                                                              

[Chorus]
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                                                            
And when you're feeling empty                                        
Keep me in your memory                                                  
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

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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
