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 SCHOOL GIRL
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
TO TEAR OUR WORLD
APART I DID MY BEST
IT ALMOST BROKE
MY HEART TO TAKE
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
AND THE WORD I WROTE
WAS LOVE
AND I CONFESS
THAT'S THE ONLY WAY
TO PASS THE TEST
