We've all been there. You can do a 100 nice things and then trip up with one stupid, thoughtless mistake. That's how fragile and delicately balanced relationships can be. So, work it out, laugh it off and love each other to death.

ONE MISTAKE
It feels like it’s an experiment
Never far from some embarrassment
I’m just trying to understand
All the writing in the sand
When I’m holding out my hand
Reaching for our promised land
I’m fine tuning this every day
Deciding the right notes to play
When you’re sharp I’m falling flat
Repeating like a copycat
Please don’t look at me like that
You’re my aphrodisiac
CHORUS
One mistake is all it takes
To lose the thread the binding breaks
The deepest cuts a lover makes
But you can right the wrong
When your love is strong
Riding my high horse
Heading for the moon
I could meet you there
For a quiet afternoon
No reason to take offence
Most times these things don’t make much sense
Press reset and start again
Text me where and tell me when
Ignoring every doubting friend
Crossing out the poisoned pen
CHORUS
