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, did-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.
