Mistake n° 3
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 Three
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
Its so sad but it prepares them
For the mould
Make Mistake Number Three
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
Into strange and pretty faces
I don't know
Clutching to my lipstick traces
Watch them go
Make Mistake Number three
