IT START WITH
ONE THING/I DON'T KNOW WHY
IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY
KEEP THAT IN MIND/I DESIGNED THIS 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 WHEN
I TRIED SO HARD
AND GOT SO FAR
BUT IN THE END
IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER
ONE THING/I DON'T KNOW WHY
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
I PUT MY TRUST IN YOU
PUSHED AS FAR AS I CAN GO
AND FOR ALL THIS
THERE'S ONLY ONE THING YOU SHOULD KNOW...
