Verse 2
Well all the plans that you made from seven years ago Like all the promises you made I watched them come and go You put your keys in the car but it wouldn't drive With your hands on the wheel lookin' barely alive I'm still sitting here waiting on the passenger side Am For you to make your mind C For you to make up your mind
Chorus
At the dark end of this bar
What a beautiful wreck you are When you go too far, Beautiful wreck you are What a beautiful, such a beautiful A beautiful wreck you are
What a beautiful, such a beautiful wreck
I lost count of the times I given up on you But you make such a beautiful wreck you do Yeah, you make such a beautiful wreck you do You make such a beautiful wreck you do
At the dark end of this bar What a beautiful wreck you are When you go too far Beautiful wreck you are What a beautiful, such a beautiful, beautiful wreck you are What a beautiful, such a beautiful, beautiful wreck you are
