Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I follow my heart but every time
I do it gets me lost and left in the dark
But I think it's clear this time
I guess we're just not compatible
You get me up and let me down
You give me nothing to fall on, yeah
[Verse 2]
Now I wish that cupids arrow never hit
Never went through me, through me
Wish we never crossed the line
Wish I never gave you this booty ooh we
It ain't bout no other
Better friends then lovers
Lets just call this what it is babe, what it is babe
[Verse 3]
Bet you never thought I would say
We were a beautiful mistake
It is what it is
Can't say it no other way
We were a beautiful mistake
It is what it is
Damn I wish I could stay
But, we were a beautiful mistake
Boy you know I'm gonna miss you by my side
But it is what it is
[Verse 4]
Aw baby
That's what it is what it is
Aw baby
[Verse 5]
You followed your heart
It lead you to me but
In reality I don't fit the part
We gave it a road
But blew out of control now, don't get me wrong
What we had was good, I really thought we stood a chance
But that quickly passed
[Verse 6]
Now I wish that cupids arrow never hit
Never went through me, through me
Wish we never crossed the line
Wish I never gave you this booty ooh we
It ain't bout no other
Better friends then lovers
Lets just call this what it is babe, what it is babe
[Verse 7]
Bet you never thought I would say
We were a beautiful mistake
It is what it is
Can't say it no other way
We were a beautiful mistake
It is what it is
Damn I wish I could stay
We were a beautiful mistake
You know I'm gonna miss you by my side
But it is what it is
[Verse 8]
Got me hanging up you breaking up, keep your head up
[Verse 9]
Got me hanging up you breaking up, keep your head up
[Verse 10]
Ain't no use to fight it
'Cause it's understood
We both know we tried it
Didn't turn out good
[Verse 11]
Ain't no use to fight it
'Cause it's understood
We both know we tried it
Didn't turn out good
[Verse 12]
Don't you see that we just a beautiful mistake, that's what we are
Don't you see that we just a beautiful mistake, that's what we are
Don't you see that we just a beautiful mistake, that's what we are
Don't you see that we just a beautiful mistake, that's what we are
Don't you see that we just a beautiful mistake, that's what we are
Don't you see that we just a beautiful mistake, that's what we are
Don't you see that we just a beautiful mistake
