Beautiful Mistake

Words and Music by Amity Dry

This is another song that I'm sure many of us can relate to and was inspired by endless talks with someone close to me about the end of her relationship. I had been playing around with some ideas for a song about her and nothing was really working but when I came up with the words 'beautiful mistake' I knew it was a perfect title for the song, and it all came from there. It is such a contradiction, but it's so accurate. It might have been a mistake, but it was still beautiful for a while.

Looking back, it's so clear to me
That I closed my eyes to what I didn't want to see
I can't pretend there wasn't signs
But I wanted so bad to make it right
I thought that time would see us through
I thought that all I needed was you

We had such dreams, and let them slip away
And now it seems it took more than we gave
And I'm tired, and sorry's not enough to make it right
I've lost the fight
I thought that time would make us strong
I thought that you were right, I was wrong

We were too young
It was too fast
We were too eager to prove it would last
We thought that love would be enough
Oh I know we didn't think I'd be so tough
But for all of that I still wouldn't change
Coz loving you was a beautiful mistake

And I wish it didn't have to be this way
But I'd rather leave still loving you
Than break my heart and stay

Chorus
