Leave Out All The Rest by Linkin Park

Like it? Hate it? Let me know your thoughts on this song, and why you think it's in the Twilight soundtrack. 

Leave Out All The Rest by Linkin Park
(from http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/l/linkin_park/leave_out_all_the_rest.html)

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 
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 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, 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 
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

  1. I superduper love this!ü LEAVE OUT ALL THE REST. It's about a man who admits that he’s done some pretty shitty things in his life, but asks that when he’s gone, just remember him for the good things. Something that Edward would want Bella to do in the future.

  2. You nailed it Teej! And it's really sad, especially if you've read the early part of New Moon. Oops... spoiler alert! Would anyone know if this song was written especially for Twilight, or is it just some weird coincidence that it has this line--"I can't be who you are" (of course referring to Bella's humanity)?
