TEKS

It starts with 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

 Trying to hold on, but you 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

 I had to fall

 To lose it all

 But in the end

 It doesn’t even matter

 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 remind myself of a time when

 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

 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 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’ve put my trust in you

 Pushed as far as I can go

 For all this

 There’s only one thing you should know

 I’ve put my trust in you

 Pushed as far as I can go

 For all this

 There’s only one thing you should know

 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
