Leave All Out 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

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 all out the rest

 Don’t be afraid

I’ve taken my beating

I’ve shed but I’m me

 I’m strong on the surface

Not all the way through

I’ve never been perfect

But neither have you

 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
