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...
