Lyrics
Half of my mistakes, I made stone cold sober
Half of the errors I made while completely sober.
Half of my mistakes, I made at closing time
Half of the mistakes occurred near closing time.
Half the time I never saw it coming till it was over
Often, I didn't realize the consequences until it was too late.
Half of my mistakes I made with love on the line
Many mistakes were made with love at stake.
Half of my mistakes, I swear I should've known better
I should have known better for half of my errors.
Half of my mistakes were made just among friends
Some mistakes were made within the circle of friends.
You get a little distance on it, the truth gets clearer
Distance often brings clarity to the truth about my mistakes.
Half of my mistakes, hell I'd probably be making again
Despite the consequences, I might repeat half of my mistakes.
And if I had it all to do over
If given a second chance, I might experience similar victories and losses.
I'd probably win and lose just as much
The balance of winning and losing would likely remain unchanged.
I'd spend a lot less time on right and the wrong
I'd focus less on determining right from wrong and more on love.
And a whole lot more on love
A shift towards investing more time in love than moral judgments.
Half of my mistakes, I made 'cause I was moving too quickly
Some mistakes resulted from hasty actions.
Half of them were made 'cause my heart moved too slow
Others occurred due to my heart's slow response.
Nobody can tell you a damn thing if you ain't listening
Ignoring advice is futile if you're not attentive.
Yeah, and half of my mistakes I made 'cause I couldn't let go
Difficulty in letting go led to half of my mistakes.
And if I had it all to do over
If I could redo everything, similar outcomes would likely persist.
I'd know I'd win and lose just as much
Victories and losses would maintain a similar ratio.
And I'd spend a lot less time on right and the wrong
Less emphasis on moral judgments and more on love.
And a whole lot more on love
A recurring theme of prioritizing love over right and wrong.
And if I had it all to do over
A repeated acknowledgment of potential outcomes in a redo.
I'd know I'd win and lose just as much
Similar victories and losses would persist in hindsight.
I'd spend a lot less time on right and the wrong
Emphasizing the importance of love over moral judgments.
And a lot more time on love
More time should be dedicated to love rather than judgment.
Half of my mistakes, I'd give anything to change how it ended
I'd change the conclusion of some mistakes if possible.
Half of my mistakes, God I wouldn't change a single thing
However, I wouldn't alter certain mistakes as they shaped my life.
You can lean too hard on regrets, but I don't recommend it
Caution against dwelling too heavily on regrets.
'Cause half the good things in my life came from half of my mistakes
Positive aspects of my life emerged from half of my mistakes.
Yes, I said half the good things in my life came from half of my mistakes
Reiteration of the positive outcomes resulting from mistakes.
Said, half of my mistakes, half of my mistakes, half of my mistakes
Continued emphasis on the impact of mistakes on life.
Half of my mistakes, half of my mistakes, half of my mistakes
Repeated acknowledgment of the significant role of mistakes.
Half of my mistakes, half of my mistakes, half of my mistakes
Continued recognition of the influence of mistakes on life.
