Shikalija

It starts with
          One thing, I don't know why
          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, di-didn't even know
          I 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
