[Intro: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington]
You guys know this one?
Oh, you know it? Yes
If you know it, then you need to help us out
You sing along with Chester, alright? Let's go
It starts with one
[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington, Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington]
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, I didn't even know
I wasted it all just to watch you go
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda, Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington, Chester Bennington]
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
[Chorus: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn't even matter (Matter)
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington, Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington]
One thing, I don't know why
Doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mockin' me
Actin' like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised that it got so far
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
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda, Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington, Chester Bennington]
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
[Chorus: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
I tried so hard and got so far (Sing it)
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
[Interlude: Mike Shinoda]
That's what I'm talkin' about
Hold up a second Philly, hold up a second
We're here in the name of unity, right?
If we're all united here today
Let me see you put a hand up in the air like this
A lotta people are with us, can I see the other one up?
That's what I'm talkin' about
Help me out and put it together just like this, you ready?
Let's just listen to that, come on, louder
[Bridge: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
I put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this, there's only one thing you should know (Alright, you guys sing it)
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go (C'mon)
For all this, there's only one thing you should know
[Chorus: 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
[Outro: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
God bless you all
Thank you
