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
