In the End (Live In Nottingham 2003)

(It starts with one) 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 (It's so unreal) Didn't look out below Watch the time go right out the window Tryin' to hold on, didn't even know I wasted it all just to watch you go [Pre-Chorus: 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 [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 [Verse 2: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington] 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 In spite of the way you were mockin' me Actin' like I was part of your property Rememberin' 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 [Pre-Chorus: 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 [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 [Bridge: Chester Bennington] 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 [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
