"Leave Out All The Rest" by Linkin Park
I placed the lyrics at the end.
I had just lost a very, very dear friend. She helped raise me and care for me when my mom went back to work when I was about 3-4 weeks old. She was like a second mother to me. She passed on Saturday April 12th, 2008 at 6pm. I was listening to my ipod one night as I was getting ready for bed when this song came on. It automatically hit me and I just started to cry. I mean I have listened to this song about a hundred times without it doing anything emotional to me. I thought this is such a great song to play at her funeral on Wednesday Aptil 23rd, 2008. I am going to ask her daughter who is like my sister if she likes it and see what we can do. I think it is just a great overall song for any funeral or memorial of any kind. Here are the lyrics if anyone has not yet heard this song or might want to read the lyrics.
I myself would like for it to be played at my funeral!
"Leave Out All The Rest"
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
Chorus
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
End Chorus
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
Chorus
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
End Chorus
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
Chorus
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
