(It starts with one)
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)
I didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Tryin' to hold on, I didn't even know
I wasted it all just to watch you (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

(Time when I, time when I, time when I)
Tried so hard
(Time when I, time when I, time when I)
Tried so hard
(Time when I, time when I, time when I)
Tried so hard
(Time when I, time when I)

I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you

And be less like you
And be less like you
And be less like you
And be less like you

And be less like you
And be less like you
And be less like you
And be less like you

And be less like you
And be less like you
And be less like you
And be less like you

And be less like you
And be less like you
And be less...

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

I tried so hard
I tried so hard
I tried so hard
I tried so hard

I tried so hard
I tried so hard
I tried so hard
I tried so hard

I tried so...

(Time when I, time when I, time when I)
Tried so hard
(Time when I, time when I, time when I)
Tried so hard
(Time when I, time when I, time when I)
Tried so hard
(Time when I, time when I)

I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you

And be less like you
And be less like you
And be less like you
And be less like you

And be less like you
And be less like you
And be less...

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

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

I tried so hard
I tried so hard
I tried so hard
I tried so hard

I tried so hard
I tried so hard
I tried so hard
I tried so hard

I tried so...
