It starts with 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 'til the end of the day   The clock ticks life away, it's so unreal      You didn't look out below   Watch the time go right out the window   Tryin' to hold on but didn't even know   I 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      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      I put my trust in you   Pushed as far as I can go   For all this   There's only one thing you should know      I 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
