Another failed test -
I've always been embarrassingly naive,
and the judgment thing, yeah.
But I thought that perhaps it was you
or maybe the other fellow.
Who else would care?
So I took the chance
and got slapped for it.
You'd think that enough slaps
would do it.

I'm living proof that older
isn't always wiser,
and that remuneration is
never enough.
Some things you can't pay back.

But the words are mine,
you gave them to me,
and even if they aren't true now,
they were.
I've done the one thing you asked,
but the other,
No, I'm sorry.
