[Verse 1]
Met you at that summer party, yeah, you caught my eye
Smooth talk, killer smile, I knew you were a lie
Dancing close, your hands on me, I should've walked away
But your face was like a drug, got me twisted every day
[Pre-Chorus]
I knew better, I knew better
[Chorus]
You're a beautiful mistake that I can't forget
Sexy, sweet, the best regret I've ever met
Got me twisted up inside, yeah, you played it right
You're a beautiful mistake I can't leave behind
[Verse 2]
Took me to your car that night, said forever, said you'd stay
Three weeks later, ghosted hard, threw my heart away
I still see your face in crowds, still reach for my phone
You're the ache that never leaves, you're the wound that won't be known
[Chorus]
You're a beautiful mistake that I can't forget
Sexy, sweet, the best regret I've ever met
Got me twisted up inside, yeah, you played it right
You're a beautiful mistake I can't leave behind
[Bridge]
If love is a lesson, you were the hardest page to read
Still, I whisper your name in the mirror to release the need
[Chorus]
You're a beautiful mistake that I can't forget
Sexy, sweet, the best regret I've ever met
Got me twisted up inside, yeah, you played it right
You're a beautiful mistake I can't leave behind
[Outro]
Beautiful mistake, you linger in the light of my mind
Beautiful mistake, I’m learning to leave you behind
