This Is but a Test Songtext

von Ten Foot Pole

I didn't notice that you cut your hair
I didn't notice that it was blue
I didn't notice that you pierced your tongue
I don't recall the dress you wore the day I met you
I almost missed your birthday once again
Your sister called me just in time
I forgot to wipe my muddy shoes
You get so pissed when I track around the grime

This is but a test
This is just a trial run
You can still push reset
Trade me in for a better one
Sometimes i'm a dick
I'm a rabid hockey fan
All I can promise is
I'll do the best I can

I forgot to pick you up on time
And I forgot to pay the bills
I forgot to put the seat back down
Sometimes my drinking buddies take your favorite pills
Can't say I don't bring you flowers anymore
Cause I don't bring them any less
And I don't take you to your favorite store
Cause I don't have the money
To buy your favorite dress

But I work and I try
I'm not as big a jerk as every other guy
You ever liked, you ever knew
Once in a while I go with you to buy new shoes
But I work and I try
I'm not as big a jerk as every other guy
You ever liked, you ever knew
Sometimes I break down and take you to the zoo

This is but a test
This is just a trial run
You can still push reset
Trade me in for a better one
Sometimes i'm a jerk
I won't deny that's what I am
All I can promise is
I'll do the best I can
