Why are you looking at me from across this smoky room

You realize its half past three and my guitars long out of tune

If you know what I've been through

Then You would certainly walk as far away from me

As your two feet would carry you

 

Cuz I'm 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 only live once so I suppose I'll buy a drink

But all this talk of love has made me not even wanna think

Of all that we could be

I say lets keep this friendly so we're both ok

With the fact that I have to leave

 

Chorus

 

You look really nice and I wouldn't think twice about takin you home

With me yeah

Polite conversation and minor flirtation is all this needs

To be yeah

 

I'm a beautiful mistake

Your lovely heart I will take and break

Yes I've got poison in my veins

I'd love to say

But for your sake girl I've got to walk away

I've got to walk away
