This Is But A Test

(álbum: Insider - 1998)

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
And 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
You can't say I don't bring you flowers anymore
Because I don't bring them any less
And I don't take you to your favorite store
Cuz 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 quite 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

This is but a test
This is just a trial run
You can still push reset
Trade me in for a better one
You are staying alone
[?]
And I won't promise you
That I could do it all
