Beautiful Mistake

Why are you looking at me from across this smoky room
You realize its half past three and my guitar's long out of tune.
If you knew what I've been through
Then you would certainly walk as far away from me as your two feet would carry you...

I am a beautiful mistake
Your lovely heart, I will take and break.
Yes I've got poison in my veins.
I'd love to stay, but for your sake girl...
I've got to walk away.

Well we will only live once so I suppose I'll buy a drink
But all this talk of love has made me not want to even think
Of all that we could be
I say let's keep this friendly so that we're both ok
With the fact that I have to leave

I am a beautiful mistake
Your lovely heart, I will take and break.
Yes I've got poison in my veins
I'd love to stay, but for your sake
Girl, I've got to walk away

You look really nice and I wouldn't think twice about taking you home with me...yeah
Polite conversation and minor flirtation is all this needs to be...yeah

I am a beautiful mistake
Your lovely heart, I will take and break
Yes I've got poison in my veins
I'd love to stay, but for your sake
Girl... I've got to walk away
I've got to walk away
