Made the fatal mistake, like I did once before   Tendency just to take 'til the purpose turned sour      Strain, take the strain, these days we love   Strain, take the strain 'cause 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 rumors 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
