In the End

It starts with one

One thing, I don't know whyIt doesn't even matter how hard you tryKeep that in mind, I designed this rhymeTo explain in due time, all I knowTime is a valuable thingWatch it fly by as the pendulum swingsWatch it count down to the end of the day

The clock ticks life away, it's so unrealDidn't look out belowWatch the time go right out the windowTryin' to hold on, d-didn't even knowI wasted it all just to watch you go

I kept everythin' insideAnd even though I tried, it all fell apartWhat it meant to me will eventually beA memory of a time when I tried so hard

I tried so hard and got so farBut in the end, it doesn't even matterI had to fall to lose it allBut in the end, it doesn't even matter

One thing, I don't know whyIt doesn't even matter how hard you tryKeep that in mind, I designed this rhymeTo remind myself how I tried so hardIn spite of the way you were mockin' meActin' like I was part of your propertyRememberin' all the times you fought with meI'm surprised it got so far

Things aren't the way they were beforeYou wouldn't even recognize me anymoreNot that you knew me back thenBut it all comes back to me in the end

You kept everythin' insideAnd even though I tried, it all fell apartWhat it meant to me will eventually beA memory of a time when I tried so hard

I tried so hard and got so farBut in the end, it doesn't even matterI had to fall to lose it allBut in the end, it doesn't even matter

I've put my trust in youPushed as far as I can goFor all this, there's only one thing you should knowI've put my trust in youPushed as far as I can goFor all this, there's only one thing you should know

I tried so hard and got so farBut in the end, it doesn't even matterI had to fall to lose it allBut in the end, it doesn't even matter
