Walking Wounded Lyrics - The Beautiful Mistake

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
