mistake no. 3

you can't bystand 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

make mistake number 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 mould

make mistake number 3

why is my love like an ocean run dry?

and why is my love

such a struggle with life?

you can't bystand all the people

stand them on their own

they will fall to pieces

so we watch them grow

make mistake number 3
