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
