My Beautiful Mistake

By Walt Lafty
Demos

I close my eyes because I’m told that love is blind
Two hearts collide
The casualties are always left to die
How long
How long
Until we end this story
I can’t hold on
To this any longer
You gave me confusion and shame
I guess I’ll never be good enough and now I gotta start all over again
And watch the colors dissipate
What once was black is turning gray
And though I could just walk away, you’re still my beautiful mistake
The future is a tidal wave
Where promises are drowned by fate
And though I could just swim away, you’re still my beautiful mistake
You gave me something to save
When I’m lost I don’t think like myself at all
I tend to hide
Until all this confusion does subside
How long
How long
Until I taste some glory
I can’t hold to this any longer
You gave me confusion and shame
I guess I’ll never be good enough and now I gotta start all over again
And watch the colors dissipate
What once was black is turning gray
And though I could just walk away your still my beautiful mistake
The future is a tidal wave where promises are drowned by fate
And though I could just swim away your still my beautiful mistake
I wanted to work
How stubborn was I
In my defense I fought one hell of a fight
But dreams and reality don’t often collide
You gave me confusion and blame
I guess I’ll never be good enough and now I gotta start all over again
And watch the colors dissipate
What once was black is turning gray
And though I could just walk away your still my beautiful mistake
The future is a tidal wave where promises are drowned by fate
And though I could just swim away your still my beautiful mistake
My beautiful mistake
