Beautiful Mistakes

I DON’T NEED ADVICE, DON’T SAY I TOLD YOU SO
I GOT TO WHERE I AM BY SCREWING UP, YOU KNOW
AND WHAT I LOST AND FOUND, EACH BEAUTIFUL MISTAKE
MADE ME WHO I AM, AND EVERYTHING WAS MADE TO BREAK

I LAY DOWN WITH SOMEBODY, I TOLD HER HOW I FEEL.
EVEN SAID I LOVE YOU, I SWORE THIS TIME IT’S REAL
I WATCHED HER TURN HER BACK, SHE WALKED OUT OF THE ROOM
NOW LOOK UP THROUGH THE DARKNESS AT THE SHADOWS ON THE MOON
EVERYTHING FADES AWAY, EVEN

BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL MISTAKES
WE MAKE BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL MISTAKES
ALL YOU CAN DO IS KEEP ON TRUSTING, KEEP ON TRYING
LEAVE YOUR LOSSES WHERE YOU FIND THEM, THEY’RE
BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL MISTAKES
BEAUTIFUL MISTAKES

I’LL PACK UP MY BELONGINGS, THERE’S NOTHING LEFT TO SAY
AS LONG AS I AM LIVING, I’LL MAKE BEAUTIFUL MISTAKES
TEARS TURN TO LAUGHTER, PAIN TURNS TO JOY
BEGINNINGS TURN TO ENDINGS, THERE’S NOTHING TO AVOID
SO MOVE BETWEEN THE LIGHTNING, AND FEEL THE EARTH THAT SHAKES
WE LEARN THIS DANCE OF LIVING BY MAKING BEAUTIFUL MISTAKES

BEAUTIFUL MISTAKES
