Beautiful Mistakes
Maroon 5 Megan Thee Stallion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're like a broken home to me
I take a shot of memories
And black out like an empty street
I fill my days with the way you walk
And fill my nights with broken dreams
I make up lies inside my head
Like one day, you'll come back to me
Now I'm not holdin' on, not holdin' on
I'm just depressed that you're gone
Not holdin' on, not holdin' on
Beautiful mistakes
I make inside my head
She's naked in my bed
And now we lie awake
Makin' beautiful mistakes
I wouldn't take 'em back
I'm in love with the past
And now we lie awake
Makin' beautiful mistakes
Nah-nah-nah, in my head
Nah-nah-nah, in my bed
Nah-nah-nah, ayy
Makin' beautiful mistakes
It's pitiful, I can't believe
How every day gets worse for me (yeah, yeah)
I take a break, I cut you off
To keep myself from lookin' soft
I fill my nights with the way you was
And still wake up with broken dreams
I make these lies inside my head
Feel like they're my reality
Now I'm not holdin' on, not holdin' on
I'm just depressed that you're gone
Not holdin' on, not holdin' on
Beautiful mistakes
I make inside my head
She's naked in my bed
And now we lie awake
Makin' beautiful mistakes
I wouldn't take 'em back
I'm in love with the past
And now we lie awake
Makin' beautiful mistakes
Nah-nah-nah, in my head
Nah-nah-nah, in my bed
Nah-nah-nah, yeah, yeah
Makin' beautiful mistakes
You did me wrong 'cause I let you (let you)
Usually, I like my situations beneficial
Doin' somethin' different, got me lookin' stupid (damn)
The only way I'm comin' back to you is if you dreamin', lucid
Prove it, if you made a promise then keep it (keep it)
Why you wanna lie and then get mad? I don't believe it (boy, bye)
But really I was doin' just fine without ya
Lookin' fine, sippin' wine, dancin' on club couches (ah)
Baby, why you wanna lose me like you don't need me? (Like you don't need me)
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?)
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 (lookin' sad)
I know it's hard to let go, I'm the best (I'm the best)
Best you ever had and best you gon' get (gon' get)
And if we break up, I don't wanna be friends (be friends)
You're toxic
Beautiful mistakes
I make inside my head
She's naked in my bed
And now we lie awake
Makin' beautiful mistakes
I wouldn't take 'em back
I'm in love with the past
And now we lie awake
Makin' beautiful mistakes
Nah-nah-nah, in my head
Nah-nah-nah, in my bed
Nah-nah-nah, yeah, yeah (oh)
Makin' beautiful mistakes
Nah-nah-nah, in my head
Nah-nah-nah, in my bed
Nah-nah-nah, hey (let it go)
Makin' beautiful mistakes
Nah-nah-nah
Nah-nah-nah (ooh)
Nah-nah-nah
The lyrics of Maroon 5's Beautiful Mistakes explores the feelings of nostalgic and bitter aftermath of a failed relationship. The song introduces a contrast of conflicting emotions as the singer is not holding onto the past, yet he is depressed because he is reminiscing about the past memories. The first verse reflects on the sorrowful and despairing outlook on the broken relationship as the singer fills his days with memories and his nights with broken dreams, insinuating that his relationship with the other person was his reason for happiness. The second verse of the song reflects on the frustration and anger of the singer with how the relationship unfolded as he blames himself for being too soft towards the other person. The chorus, 'beautiful mistakes I make inside my head' represents the longing for something that the singer knows is unattainable.
Adam Levine, the frontman of Maroon 5, has explained that the song is about the struggles of letting go of a past lover and the complicated emotions that arise. The lyrics reflect the feeling of hopelessness and melancholia that people experience after a breakup. The song was released on 3rd March 2021 and features Megan Thee Stallion.
