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
