It starts with one thing (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
Trying to hold on, but didn't even know
Wasted it all just to watch 
you go (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)

* 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 (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 (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 (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)

[Repeat *]

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

[Repeat *]
