Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's beautiful, it's bittersweet, you're like a broken home to me
I take a shot of memories and black out like an empty street
I fill my days with the way you walk and fill my nights with broken dreams
I'll make up lies inside my head, like one day you'll come back to me
[PreChorus]
Now I'm not holdin' on, not holdin' on, I'm just depressed that you're gone
Not holdin' on, not holdin' on
[Chorus]
Beautiful mistakes
I make inside my head
She's naked in my bed
And now we lie awake
Makin' beautiful mistakes
I wouldn't take 'em back
I'm in love with the past
And now we lie awake
Makin' beautiful mistakes
[Chorus]
Nah, nah, nah
In my head
Nah, nah, nah
In my bed
Nah, nah, nah
[Chorus]
Ay
Makin' beautiful mistakes
[Verse 2]
It's pitiful, I can't believe how every day gets worse for me (Yeah, yeah)
I take a break, I cut you off to keep myself from lookin' soft
I fill my nights with the way you was and still wake up with broken dreams
I'll make these lies inside my head, feel like they're my reality
[PreChorus]
Now I'm not holdin' on, not holdin' on, I'm just depressed that you're gone
Not holdin' on, not holdin' on
[Chorus]
Beautiful mistakes
I make inside my head
She's naked in my bed
And now we lie awake
Makin' beautiful mistakes
I wouldn't take 'em back
I'm in love with the past
And now we lie awake
Makin' beautiful mistakes
[Chorus]
Nah, nah, nah
In my head
Nah, nah, nah
In my bed
Nah, nah, nah
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
Makin' beautiful mistakes
[Verse 3]
You did me wrong 'cause I let you
Usually I like my situations beneficial
Doing something different
Got me looking stupid
The only way I'm coming back to you is if you dream it
[Verse 4]
Lucid, prove it
If you made a promise then keep it
Why you wanna lie and then get mad? I don't believe it (Boy, bye)
But really I was doing just fine without ya'
Lookin' fine, sippin' wine, dancin' on club couches (Ahh)
[Verse 5]
Baby, why you wanna lose me like you don't need me?
Like I don't block you and you still try to reach me
How you figure out how to call me from the TV?
You runnin' out of chances and this time I mean it (Ahh)
[Verse 6]
Yeah, bet you miss my love, all in your bed
Now ya stressin' out, pullin' your hair
Smellin' your pillows and wishin' I was there
Slidin' down the shower wall, lookin' sad
[Verse 7]
I know it's hard to let go, I'm the best
Best you ever had and best you gon' get
If we break up, I don't wanna be friends, you're toxic
[Chorus]
Beautiful mistakes
I make inside my head
She's naked in my bed
And now we lie awake
Makin' beautiful mistakes
I wouldn't take 'em back
I'm in love with the past
And now we lie awake
Makin' beautiful mistakes
[Chorus]
Nah, nah, nah
In my head
Nah, nah, nah
In my bed
Nah, nah, nah
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah (Oh-oh, oh)
Makin' beautiful mistakes
[Chorus]
Nah, nah, nah
In my head
Nah, nah, nah
In my bed
Nah, nah, nah
[Chorus]
Hey
Makin' beautiful mistakes
[Outro]
Nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah
