The beautiful mistake walking wounded lyrics

We lit the match, dropped it and waited



Just to see how beautiful, 



and painful it could be



It's funny how clear, 



your eyes get from crying



It's funny how clean, your life gets from dying.







You know your sleeves are long, 



waiting on an answer



all we want is shelter 



from the times that bring us down.



You know your sleeves are long, 



waiting on an answer



just to be protected



from the doubt thats in our heart







Been at the bottom, soared to the sun



Just to see how beautiful 



and painful it could be



Wings that were ours, broken from trying



Wings that were ours, melted from flying







You know your sleeves are long,



waiting on an answer



all we want is shelter 



from the times that bring us down.



You know your sleeves are long,



waiting on an answer



just to be protected 



from the doubt thats in our heart







You know your sleeves are long, 



waiting on an answer



all we want is shelter



from the times that bring us down.



You know your sleeves are long,



waiting on an answer



just to be protected 



from the doubt thats in our heart
