I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared 
But no one would listen 
‘Cause no one else cares 
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 [bad word] 
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 

Don't be afraid 
I've taken my beating 
I've shed but I'm me 
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 [bad word] 
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 [bad word] and save me 
From myself 
I can't be who you are 

When my [bad word] 
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 [bad word] and save me 
From myself 
I can't be who you are 
I can't be who you are
