It starts with 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
 Trying to hold on, but didn't 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 
 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
 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 I

 Chorus
 I've put my trust in you
 Pushed as far as I can go
 And for all this
 There's only one thing you should know
