The Test

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
