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
