I dreamt 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 am 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, when you’re feeling empty Keep me in your memory, and 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…. 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, and leave out all the rest Leave out all the rest… Forgetting all the hurt inside that you’ve learned to hide so well Pretending someone else can come and save me from myself I can’t be who you are 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
