Shawn Mullins - Beautiful Wreck Lyrics






I've lost count of the times I given up on you
But you make such a beautiful wreck, you do
There's a tavern on the corner called the Milky Way
And you look so at home there it makes me afraid

And at the dark end of this bar
What a beautiful wreck you are
When you go too far, beautiful wreck you are

Like all the plans that you had 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
For you to make up your mind

For you to make up your mind

And 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

I've 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

And 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

  31. a.... ....

    This song just defines codependence.

  32. M.... D....

    I feel sorry for the man who never had a woman this song epitomizes; gotta Love her, all the while knowing it isn't going to last and it isn't going going end well!  " When you go too far. Beautiful Wreck you are!"  You've never really been in Love!

    Shawn Mullins is an amazing singer songwriter.......this is one of my favorites.......reminds me of someone special in my life. One of my absolute favorite songs.......

  42. a.... ....

    This song/video just about defines the word "co-dependency".

  43. p.... ....

    I love this song. I WILL play this one day at an open mic night in Austin Texas!

  44. M.... ....

    I adore this song, but by a minute into the video I wanna take that sledge the girl's holding and smack HER with it.

  45. p.... ....

    My dad originally showed me this song and I love it. It struck some truth in me. I'm addicted to this song! I love it! Thanks so much Shawn for helping to fill our world with good music! ~lici

  46. E.... ....

    Too true lol nice quoting Dean lol

  49. p.... ....

    DecayRitual make sure u shoot yourself first

  51. t.... ....

    this song rocks...

  52. W.... S....

    Oh, I'm just going to HAVE to borrow "persqueeter" some time!!! If I didn't have a bad back (I'm an Old, grateful to have been around when music sounded like MUSIC), I'd literally be ROTFL right now. LOLOL Thanks for the chuckle!

  53. L.... S....

    Thank you, glitchfan.

    You other people? Every single time you compare someone to Lady Gaga (or Justin Bieber or Rebecca Black - or whoever you might think to be bad artists) YOU PROMOTE THE HELL OUT OF THEM.

  54. g.... ....

    Thanks bud ;-)

  55. T.... M....

    Oh get over yourself, he wasn't talking about YOU. YOU are the one being negative, not Golyg.

  56. g.... ....

    You think I follow Lady Gaga? Is that really what you're implying? I'm not interested in her music in any way, shape, or form just so you know. I just find the Lagy Gaga example to be quite overused, and frankly it's sad to see how people love to bring other people down because it makes them feel better in comparison. Don't like a certain artist? Ignore them - just like I do in regard to Lady Gaga. It's people with your mentality who are the unhappiest.

  57. g.... ....

    No thanks. i like the way we bash the worlds music just fine. lady GaGa is a no talent freak show who is only famous because of the controversy she creates...and because followers like you are easily led by your noses.

  58. g.... ....

    Lady Gaga this....Lady Gaga that. I've seen this same sort of comment so many times on Youtube it's ridiculous. Time to come up with a new way to bash the world's choice of music.

  59. c.... ....

    It's amazing how much I've come to identify with this song - especially with all the shit I've been showered in over the years. Good job, Shawn. <3

  60. J.... ....

    Obviously this guy is a JERK!!!!!!!

    J.... ....

    Jesusisgrace1 why?

  61. s.... ....

    good music like this should be headlining music festivals instead of untalented disney stars and pop divas

  62. v.... ....


    And in some perfumes is there more delight
    Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
    I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
    That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
    I grant I never saw a goddess go;
    My mistress when she walks treads on the ground.
    And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
    As any she belied with false compare.

  63. v.... ....

    My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
    Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
    If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
    If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
    I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
    But no such roses see I in her cheeks;

  64. g.... ....

    You know your hot when you can torture your hair like that and still be a 10

  65. P.... M....

    Saw Shawn and met him at Acoustic Cafe in Bridgeport, CT. His music moves me. I thank Rich from AC for bringing him to CT those many years ago.

  66. r.... ....

    @helleuw Haha yup

  67. a.... ....

    @silverjobin good message ? and what, dare I ask, is that?

  68. h.... ....

    @dizzotizzo 99% of PEOPLE are crazy.

  69. L.... L....

    i agree theres something wrong with this world, but lady gagas got a good message so fuck it, who cares if she sells out she might as well make as much money as she can.

  70. e.... ....

    He's coming to Athens, Ga next week. Looking forward to hearing him in person.

  71. c.... ....

    This song doesn't come on my radio anymore.

    D:

  72. x.... ....

    2:58 The chick is like, "this song blows. SHUT UP!" Haha

  73. a.... ....

    @nukulhedd She wore a brunette wig through most of the video.

  74. 1.... ....

    You don't meet stars on the red floor or in hollywood. Bars and Pubs are the areas where you meet them. Real Artists don't care about career- they live their music ♥
    And of course their like diamonds really rare and at places you wouldn't expect :)

  75. g.... ....

    LADY Ga Ga has 500 million you tube hits and this has only 361K...somethings wrong with the world!

  76. d.... ....

    @nukulhedd It's the same girl all the way through. She's wearing a wig to begin with. Can't remember her name now. :(

  77. B.... M....

    god i love him like so much like i love him god i justt his music is just amazingg like this is u think they should play him on the radio

  78. d.... ....

    Damn he cleans up nice ;) and that voice still melts me!

  79. R.... ....

    His music is terrific, but I like how he sings his lyrics. I'm planning to get a couple of his CDs.

  80. p.... ....

    @shumirules1
    cause there are about one million similar sounding songs
    however i dont like lady gaga etc

  81. S.... M....

    This guy looks like Lieutenant Dan from Forest Gump...

  82. a.... ....

    the moment when the curtain opens up makes this video. as an aside, i told an ex-gf of mine that she was a beautiful wreck and sent her this link. She didn't appreciate it.

  83. C.... H....

    Duh~of course it is, who else would it be? Stiil, I had to watch a 2nd time to be sure...

  84. g.... ....

    @cnhardie11 yes, same chick

  85. C.... H....

    I'm right to assume that the brunette in the 1st half is the same blonde in the 2nd half, right?

  86. g.... ....

    I'd pay a thou for that chick's phone number

  87. l.... ....

    WHO IS THE FEMALE BACKGROUND VOCALIST?

  88. R.... ....

    @shumirules1 Songwriters like Shawn Mullins don't need "Fame", they are happy with achieving what they do. Which is reaching the audience he does and just getting his message past. I think Shawn is probably one of the most underrated artists out there, with that said.

  89. d.... s....

    I thnk that this guy shold be cloned and made available to everyone.

  90. K.... ....

    Shawn is too good not to be recognized...I love him and listen to him so very much...what is wrong with those people that can't do the same.....listen to public radio and independent radio... Find the best of the best....thumbs down to commercial radio!!!!!!

  91. T.... F....

    Because some musicians aren't sell-outs.

  92. a.... ....

    @hnryjms The video just came on Palladium again. Must be catching on these years later. Love it. Husband getting better with the ukulele, too. What is that building, fire from the hills?

  93. a.... ....

    @hnryjms Love your performance in this video. Although not a 10 like you, I really identify with this song and so does my husband. Good luck to you dear. We watch this video every night while hubby learns to play the ukulele on this song.

  94. g.... ....

    @sealpoint1 luv the chick 2

  95. g.... ....

    You your hot when you can mangle your hair and still be a 10
