When I look back 7 years...

The question they keep asking me.
How can one so young be so bitter and angry...
Well the answer is plain to see
Just look around at this world that we're living in...

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

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

Reminiscing about Vos

De laatste tijd gebeurt het wel eens dat Herbrand in m'n dromen opduikt.
Misschien omwille van het feit dat er bijna een jaar is over gegaan sinds die zwarte zondag.
Ik mis hem wel en toch is het iedere keer weer een shock om te beseffen dat hij er niet meer is...
Soms is het toch niet genoeg om hem in gedachten bij mij te houden ook al is dat het enige dat er nog overblijft.
Tijd zal de pijn wellicht verzachten, maar echt weg zal die nooit zijn...
