"Be My Mistake" lyrics
"Be My Mistake"
Be my mistake and turn out the light
She bought me those jeans, the ones you like
I don't wanna hug, I just wanna sleep
The smell of your hair reminds me of her feet
So don't wait outside my hotel room
Just wait till I give you a sign
'Cause I get lonesome sometimes
Save all the jokes you're gonna make
While I see how much drink I can take
Then be my mistake
I shouldn't have called 'cause we shouldn't speak
You do make me hard but she makes me weak
And don't wait outside my hotel room
Just wait till I give you a sign
'Cause I get lonesome sometimes
Save all the jokes you're gonna make
While I see how much drink I can take
Then be my mistake

Matthew Healy explained to Pitchfork, "'Be My Mistake' is just about guilt. It's about when you are a young person and you struggle sometimes to figure out what you really want. And sometimes, like a lot of things, it requires you to make a mistake before you actually understand what you have."
Nick Drake, according to Matt Healy, was an influence on this song's acoustic feel. He said about it,
"I love Nick Drake and shit like that, but I'm not into your modern singer-songwriter dude. So I always stylistically stay away from it, but then I realized that's where a lot of the truth is, if you do it right."
