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 

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, and 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 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 
And 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 
And 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 
I can't be who you are
