| It starts with one
|
| All I know
|
| It's so unreal
|
| Watch you go
|
| 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 of a time when I tried so hard
|
| In spite of the way you were mocking me
|
| Actin' 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
|
| 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 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
|
| You didn't look out below
|
| Watch the time go right out the window
|
| Trying to hold on, they didn't even know
|
| I 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 |
