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 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 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 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
