[Chester Bennington:] It starts with one [Mike Shinoda:] 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
[Chester Bennington:] All I know [Mike Shinoda:] 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
[Chester Bennington:] It's so unreal [Mike Shinoda:] 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 I wasted it all just to watch you go
[Chester Bennington:] Watch you go [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
[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
[Mike Shinoda:] 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 how I tried so hard
[Chester Bennington:] I tried so hard [Mike Shinoda:] 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
[Chester Bennington:] Got so far [Mike Shinoda:] 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
[Chester Bennington:] In the end [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
[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
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
