This song reflects the continued drift and eventual failure of a dying relationship, specifically revolving around one person’s avoidance of developing intimacy. This person is defined by their own misery, leading the narrator to harshly conclude that you can not fix another person.
Beautiful Disaster Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Today seems like a good day to burn a bridge or two
The one with old wood creaking that would burn right away on cue
I try to be not like that, but some people really suck
People need to get the axing, chalk it up to bad luck
[Verse 2]
I know a drugstore cowgirl so afraid of getting bored
She’s always running from something, so many things ignored
I might do that stuff if it didn’t make me feel like shit
I’m on some old reality tip, so many trips in it
[Chorus]
Beautiful disaster
Flyin' down the street again
I tried to keep up
You wore me out and left me ate up
Now I wish you all the luck
You’re a butterfly in the wind without a care
A pretty train crash to me and I can’t care
I do, I don’t, whatever
[Verse 3]
I know a drugstore cowgirl so afraid of getting bored
She’s always running from something, so many things ignored
I try to be not like this, but I thought it’d make a good song
There’s nothing to see, shows over, people just move along
[Chorus]
Beautiful disaster
Flyin' down the street again
I tried to keep up
You wore me out and left me ate up
Now I wish you all the luck
You’re a butterfly in the wind without a care
A pretty train crash to me and I can’t care
I do, I don’t, whatever
