[Verse 1]
              
It starts with

      
 One thing I d

on't know why
        
It doesn't eve

n matter how h

ard you try
        
Keep that in m

ind I designed

 this rhyme
        
To explain in 

due time
        
All I know Tim

e is a valuabl

e thing
        
Watch it fly b

y as the pendu

lum swings
        
Watch it count

 down to the e

nd of the day
        
The clock tick

s life away
          
It's so unreal

 Didn't look o

ut 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 everythi

ng inside 
              
And even thoug

  
h I tried it a

ll fell apart
              
What it meant 

  
to me will eve

ntually 
            
Be a memory of

 a time when

[Chorus]
            
I tried so har

             
d And got so f

              
ar But in the 

             
end It doesn't

        
 even matter
            
I had to fall 

             
To lose it all

              
 But in the en

             
d It doesn't e

        
ven matter

[Verse 2]

One thing I do

n't know why
   
It doesn't eve

n matter how h

ard you try

Keep that in m

ind I designed

 this rhyme
     
To remind myse

lf how
           
I tried so har

d In spite of 

the way you we

re mocking me

Acting like I 

was part of yo

ur property
  
Remembering al

l the times yo

u've fought wi

th me
             
I'm surprised 

           
it got so (far

)

Things aren't 

the way they w

ere before

You wouldn't e

ven recognize 

me anymore

Not that you k

new me back th

en
       
But it all com

es back to me
        
(In the end)
You kept everything inside 
    
And even thoug

h I tried it a

ll fell apart

What it meant 

to me will eve

ntually 

Be a memory of

 a time when 

[Chorus]
            
I tried so har

end It doesn't

        
 even matter

To lose it all

              
 But in the en

[Verse 3]

 in you Pushed
