Linkin Park "In the End" (official video) with lyrics

[Chester Bennington:]It starts with one thing -
[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

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, 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

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,
Iit 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 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.

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

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.
