Beautiful Mistakes
Maroon 5 Megan Thee Stallion Lyrics

It's beautiful, it's bittersweet
The situation is both beautiful and painful for the singer.

You're like a broken home to me
The person is a source of comfort for the singer, yet also causes them pain.

I take a shot of memories
The singer reminisces about their past experiences together.

And black out like an empty street
The memories are overwhelming and cause the artist to feel empty inside.

I fill my days with the way you walk
The artist thinks about the person frequently throughout the day.

And fill my nights with broken dreams
The singer has trouble sleeping because they dream of the person.

I make up lies inside my head
The singer imagines a future in which the person returns to them.

Like one day you'll come back to me
The artist hopes that the person will return to them someday.

Now I'm not holdin' on, not holdin' on
The artist is trying to move on from the person.

I'm just depressed that you're gone
The artist is still upset that the person is no longer in their life.

Beautiful mistakes, I make inside my head
The singer's imagination creates beautiful scenarios with the person that will never come true.

She's naked in my bed
In the artist's imagination, they are intimate with the person.

And now we lie awake, makin' beautiful mistakes
The singer's fantasies lead to beautiful, yet unrealistic, mistakes.

I wouldn't take 'em back
The singer is not regretful of their imagined scenarios.

I'm in love with the past
The singer is still in love with their memories of the person.

It's pitiful, I can't believe
The artist is embarrassed by how much the person still affects them.

How every day gets worse for me (yeah, yeah)
Each day without the person is more difficult than the last for the artist.

I take a break, I cut you off
The singer tries to distance themselves from the person to move on.

To keep myself from lookin' soft
The singer is afraid of appearing weak if they continue to hold onto the person.

I fill my nights with the way you was
The artist thinks about the person's past actions.

And still wake up with broken dreams
Even without actively thinking about the person, they still dream of them.

I make these lies inside my head
The artist's imagination creates hopeful scenarios that will never come true.

Feel like they're my reality
The singer's imagined scenarios feel real to them.

You did me wrong 'cause I let you (let you)
The artist blames themselves for allowing the person to hurt them.

Usually, I like my situations beneficial

Doin' somethin' different, got me lookin' stupid (damn)
The singer took a risk with the person and now regrets it.

The only way I'm comin' back to you is if you dreamin', lucid
The singer will only consider a relationship with the person if it is in their dreams and not reality.

Prove it, if you made a promise then keep it (keep it)
The artist wants the person to prove their loyalty.

Why you wanna lie and then get mad? I don't believe it (boy, bye)
The artist does not trust the person's words or actions.

But really I was doin' just fine without ya
The singer was content before the person came back into their life.

Lookin' fine, sippin' wine, dancin' on club couches (ah)
The singer was enjoying their life without the person.

Baby, why you wanna lose me like you don't need me? (Like you don't need me)
The artist questions why the person would risk losing them.

Like I don't block you and you still try to reach me (still try to reach me)

How you figure out how to call me from the TV? (Huh?)
The artist is confused and annoyed that the person found a way to contact them despite being blocked.

You runnin' outta chances and this time I mean it (ah)

Yeah, bet you miss my love all in your bed (bed)

Now you're stressin' out, pullin' your hair (hair)

Smellin' your pillows and wishin' I was there (I was there)

Slidin' down the shower wall, lookin' sad (sad)
