One thing / I don't know why   It doesn't even matter how hard you try   Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme   To explain in due time   All I know   time is a valuable thing   Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings   Watch it count down to the end of the day   The clock ticks life away   It's so unreal   Didn't look out below   Watch the time go right out the window   Trying to hold on / but didn't even know   Wasted it all just to   Watch you go   I kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart   What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried   so hard   And got so far   But in the end   It doesn't even matter   I had to fall   To lose it all   But in the end   It doesn't even matter   One thing / I don't know why   It doesn't even matter how hard you try   Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme   To remind myself how   I tried so hard   In spite of the way you were mocking me   Acting like I was part of your property   Remembering all the times you fought with me   I'm surprised it got so (far)   Things aren't the way they were before   You wouldn't even recognize me anymore   Not that you knew me back then   But it all comes back to me   In the end   You kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart   What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I   I tried so hard   And got so far   But in the end   It doesn't even matter   I had to fall   To lose it all   But in the end   It doesn't even matter   I've put my trust in you   Pushed as far as I can go   For all this   There's only one thing you should know   I've put my trust in you   Pushed as far as I can go   For all this   There's only one thing you should know   I tried so hard   And got so far   But in the end   It doesn't even matter   I had to fall   To lose it all   But in the end   It doesn't even matter
