Half of My Mistakes

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 should've known better

Half of my mistakers 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 the right and wrong

And a lot 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 the right and wrong

And a lot 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...
