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.
