Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You can by stand all the people
Stand them on their own
They will fall to pieces
So we watch them grow
Into strange and pretty faces
I don't know
Clutching to my lipstick traces
Watch them go
[Verse 2]
And make mistake number three, yeah
Make mistake number three
Make mistake number three, yeah
Make mistake number three
Mistake number three
[Verse 3]
It's strange how much it changes
How they want to know
How cynical are people
That's where children go
Dragged into a conversation
They can't hold
It's so sad, but it prepares them
For the mold
[Verse 4]
And make mistake number three, yeah
Make mistake number three
Make mistake number three
They make mistake number three
Mistake number three
[Verse 5]
Why is my love
Like an ocean run dry
And why is my love
Such a struggle with life
[Verse 6]
You can by stand all the people
Stand them on their own
They will fall to pieces
So we watch them grow, oh
[Verse 7]
Make mistake number three, yeah
Make mistake number three
Make mistake number three, yeah
Mistake number three
Making mistakes
Ooh, yeah
Mistake number three, yeah yeah yeah
That mistake number three
Mistakes you made, mistakes you made, mistakes you made with me
Mistakes
