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 Tryin' to hold on, d-didn't even know I wasted it all just to watch you go [Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda] 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 [Chorus: Chester Bennington] 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 (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 To remind myself how 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 [Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda] 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 tried so hard [Chorus: Chester Bennington] 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.
