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
