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

I can’t be who you are…
