It starts with one   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 (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 (it's so unreal)   Didn't look out below    Watch the time go right out the window    Tried to hold on but I 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    (It all fell apart)   What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I tried so hard       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    Despite 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 recognise me any more    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      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    I've pushed as far as I can go    And for all this    There's only one thing you should know       I've put my trust in you    I've pushed as far as I can go    And 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
