Down the middle of the page I drew a line

At the top I wrote my name, the date, the time

And sitting like a schoolgirl at my desk

I decided it was time to take the test



On the left I wrote the reasons I should leave

The differences that we had not forseen

By the time I got it all off my chest

It looked like we were sure to fail the test.



I wrote down, every fault, I wrote down every fight

Every hurtful word we ever said in spite



Then on the right I wrote the reasons why

I should stay with you until I die

I only wrote one word, no more, no less

I knew I was finished with the test



The word I wrote was love, and I confess

That's the only way to pass the test
