"Leave Out All the Rest" is a song by Linkin Park, the song was released as the fifth and final single from their third album Minutes to Midnight. Because of the song's popularity of digital sales during the release week of the album, it charted in the Top 100 songs for that week. On the album, the song segues into "Bleed It Out". The single was released on July 15, 2008.

The song's working titles were "Fear" and "When My Time Comes" according to the booklet. While writing, the group went through over thirty lyrical variations before completing the album version. The song combines various synths and samples with raw guitars and drums and powerful vocals. It is a more '80s influenced ballad that retains several elements from Linkin Park's previous work (bearing certain similarities to songs like "Easier to Run" and "Pushing Me Away"). A demo which features Mike Shinoda doing lead vocals can be heard on the Making of Minutes to Midnight documentary, as well as the Linkin Park Underground 9.0 CD where it is entitled "Fear".

The song starts with a string sample and electric piano intro, followed by the verse. The song is a sort of confession (possibly to a friend or loved one) and an attempt at redemption. The lyrics speak of someone who's made some poor choices in the past and wronged others and that he fears condemnation. It also mentions the differences between two individuals that shouldn't matter. The main person wants to be remembered as a good person in other peoples' memory when he dies or leaves in another way. At the end of the song of the album version, a crowd can be heard, leading into "Bleed it Out".
