Lyrics

You Failed (Demo)

The taste of red wine on your lips that day gave away your secret
Have you been alone with all your thoughts instead of avoiding thinking?

The look of red wine on your teeth that day made me consider leaving
'Cause nothing much good ever got done after a week of drinking

Test of a lifetime (you failed)
Test of a lifetime (you failed)
Test of a lifetime (you failed)
Test of a lifetime (you failed)

Your wondering mind is a fairy tale
You'll never find it
Leaves that you've had at the bottom of glasses
I was supposed to clean it

Test of a lifetime (you failed)
Test of a lifetime (you failed)
Test of a lifetime (you failed)
Test of a lifetime (you failed)

What are the odds of survival?
Only you can say
Sometimes I wish I handle things more like you
What is the chance you and I will ever forget this day?
Name it, it's time we got you
Ha-ha-ha

Test of a lifetime (you failed)
Test of a lifetime (you failed)
Test of a lifetime (you failed)
Test of a lifetime (you failed)
