Lightning in his smile, thunder in his touch He warned me from the start this wouldn't last too long Racing down back roads, stars and moon above I knew the crash was coming but I rode along Some loves are worth the pain they leave behind Some flames burn brightest when they're out of time I don't regret a moment though we fell apart My beautiful mistake, sweet scar upon my heart That old leather jacket still hangs by my door Midnight promises we never meant to keep Your name echoes when they play our song In my mind we're dancing still, though you're long gone Some loves are worth the pain they leave behind Some flames burn brightest when they're out of time I don't regret a moment though we fell apart My beautiful mistake, sweet scar upon my heart Mama says "darlin', don't look back" Friends all tell me "let it go at last" My mind says no but my heart just laughs 'Cause loving wrong never felt so right Now I wear these memories like badges on display Telling stories of where this heart of mine has been And if you asked would I do it all again I'd smile and whisper "yes" without a trace of shame Some loves are worth the pain they leave behind Some flames burn brightest when they're out of time I stand a little stronger for the falling I have done My beautiful mistake, the only one I'd make again My beautiful mistake, I'd choose you all over again
