* * * * 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
time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as
the pendulum swings
Watch it count down
till 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
but 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
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
