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
