Rick Rubin - Leave Out All the Rest lyrics

[Verse One] 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? [Chorus] 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 / leave out all the rest Leave out all the rest [Verse Two] 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 [Chorus] 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 / 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] 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 / 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 I can't be who you are
