Leave Out All The Rest

Chester Bennington


I dreamed I was missing.
You were so scared,
But no one would listen
'Cause no one else care.

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.
Don't resent me,
When you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory,
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest...

Don't be afraid
Of taking my beating.
I've shared what I'd 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,
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,
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.
