this is but a test lyrics

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
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
