Lyrics
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 mockin' 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
Tryin' 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
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)
Didn't look out below,
Watch the time go right out the window.
Tried 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?
[Chorus:]
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,
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 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
[heroic and sad end of song]
