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
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
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
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.
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.
Leave out all the rest.
Leave out all the rest.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is not the end, this is not the beginning.
Just a voice like a riot rocking every revision.
But you listen to the tone and the violent rhythm.
And though the words sound steady, something's empty within 'em.
We say, yeah, with fists flying up in the air.
Like we're holding onto something that's invisible there.
'Cause we're living at the mercy of the pain and fear.
Until we dead it, forget it, let it all disappear.
Waiting for the end to come.
Wishing I had strength to stand.
This is not what I had planned.
It's out of my control.
Flying at the speed of light.
Thoughts were spinning in my head.
So many things were left unsaid.
It's hard to let you go.
I know what it takes to move on.
(Oh.) I know how it feels to lie.
(Oh.) All I wanna do is trade this life for something new.
(Oh.) Holding on to what I haven't got.
Sitting in an empty room.
Trying to forget the past.
This was never meant to last.
I wish it wasn't so.
I know what it takes to move on.
(Oh) I know how it feels to lie.
(Oh) All I wanna do is trade this life for something new.
(Oh.) Holding on to what I haven't got.
Yeah, yeah.
What was left when that fire was gone?
I thought it felt right, but that right was wrong.
All caught up in the eye of the storm.
And trying to figure out what it's like moving on.
And I don't even know what kind of things I've said.
My mouth kept moving, and my mind went dead.
So, I'm picking up the pieces now, where to begin?
The hardest part of ending is starting again.
All I wanna do is trade this life for something new.
Holding on to what I haven't got.
This is not the end, this is not the beginning.
Just a voice like a riot rocking every revision.
But you listen to the tone and the violent rhythm. (Holding on to what I haven't got.)
Though the words sound steady, something empty's within them.
We say, yeah, with fists flying up in the air.
Like we're holding onto something that's invisible there.
'Cause we're living at the mercy of the pain and the fear. (Holding on to what I haven't got.)
Until we get it, forget it, let it all disappear.
