It starts with one thing
I don&9t know why
It doesn&9t 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&9s so unreal
Didn&9t look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on, but didn&9t 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

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn&9t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn&9t even matter

One thing, I don&9t know why
It doesn&9t 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&9m surprised it got so (far)
Things aren&9t the way they were before
You wouldn&9t 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

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn&9t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn&9t even matter

Chorus

I&9ve put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
And for all this
There&9s only one thing you should know (2x)

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn&9t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn&9t even matter
