Lyrics of Leave Out All The Rest by Linkin Park

verse

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?

pre-chorus

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

verse

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

pre-chorus

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

bridge

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

outro

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
