Half of my mistakes I made stone cold sober Half of my mistakes I've made at closing time Half the time I never saw it coming until it was over Oh, and half of my mistakes I've made with love on the line Half of my mistakes I swear, I should've known better Half of my mistakes were just amongst friends You get a little distance on it, the truth is clearer Oh, and half of my mistakes I'd probably make 'em again If I had it all to do over I'm sure I'd win and lose just as much But spend less time on right and wrong And alot more time on love Half of my mistakes I've made cause I was movin' too quickly Half of them were made 'cause my heart was movin' too slow
Nobody can tell you a damn thing, if you ain't listening Oh, and half of my mistakes I've made 'cause I couldn't let go If I had it all to do over I'm sure I'd win and lose just as much But spend less time on right and wrong And alot more time on love Half of my mistakes I'd give anything to change how it ended Oh, and half of my mistakes, God, I wouldn't change one thing You can lean too hard on a prayer but I don't recommend it 'cause half the good things in my life Came from half of my mistakes Yeah, a lot of good things in my life Came from half of my mistakes
