* * * * 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
