Half of my mistakes, I made stone-cold sober 

Half of my mistakes, I made at closing time 

Half the time, I never saw it coming till it was over 

Oh, half of my mistakes, I've made with love on the line 



Half of my mistakes, I swear, I shoulda known better 

Half of my mistakes, were just amongst friends 

You get a little distance on it, the truth is clearer 

Oh, half of my mistakes, I'd probably make em again 



And if I had it all to do over 

Sure I'd win an' lose just as much 

But spend less time on right and wrong 

And a lot more time on love 



Half of my mistakes, I made cause I was moving too quickly 

Half of them were made cause my heart was moving too slow 

Nobody can tell you a damn thing if you ain't listening 

Oh, half of my mistakes, I've made cause I couldn't let go 

(Let it go) 



And if I had it all to do over 

Sure I'd win and lose just as much 

But spend less time on right and wrong 

And a lot more time on love 



Half of my mistakes, I'd give anything to change how it ended 

Half of my mistakes, God, I wouldn't change a thing 

You can lean too hard on a thread, but I don't recommend it 

Cause half the good things in my life came from half my mistakes 

Yeah, a lot of good things in my life came from half my mistakes
