Lyrics for The Only Mistake

Made the fatal mistake Like I did once before A tendency just to take Till the purpose turned sour Strain, take the strain These days we love Strain, take the strain These days we love Yeah, the only mistake Was that you ran away Avenues lined with trees Strangled words for the day Yeah, the only mistake Like I made once before Yeah, the only mistake Could have made it before Strain, take the strain These days we love Strain, take the strain These days we love And the only mistake Led to rumours unfound Led to pressures unknown Different feelings and sounds Yeah, the only mistake Like I made once before Yeah, the only mistake Could have made it before
