Half of My Mistakes
Embracing Life's Lessons: A Reflection on Mistakes
Lyrics
Half of my mistakes I made stone cold sober
Reflecting on mistakes made while completely sober.
Half of my mistakes I made at closing time
Acknowledging mistakes made during late-night hours.
Half the time I never saw it coming until it was over
Realizing some mistakes only in hindsight, after they've passed.
Yeah, half of my mistakes I made put love on the line
Mistakes made while taking risks and putting love at stake.
Half of my mistakes I made 'cause I was moving too quickly
Mistakes resulting from hasty actions and decisions.
Yeah, half of 'em were made 'cause my heart was moving to slow
Contrasting mistakes made due to overly fast or slow heart movements.
Nobody can tell you a damn thing if you ain't listening
Emphasizing the importance of listening to advice.
Half of my mistakes I made because I couldn't let go
Mistakes stemming from an inability to release attachments.
And if I had it all to do over
Expressing a hypothetical desire to redo past actions.
I'd probably win and lose just as much
Acknowledging the inevitability of both wins and losses.
Spend less time on right and wrong and a lot more time on love
Advocating for prioritizing love over dwelling on right and wrong.
And if I had it all to do over
Repeating the desire to redo past actions.
I'd probably win and lose just as much
Reiterating the acceptance of wins and losses.
Spend less time on right and wrong and a lot more time on love
Reemphasizing the importance of focusing on love.
Half of my mistakes Iâ??d give anything to change how it ended
Expressing regret and a wish to alter the outcome of certain mistakes.
Half of my mistakes, God I wouldn't change a thing
Contrasting with line 19, appreciating the value of mistakes.
You can lean too hard on regrets but I don't recommend it
Cautioning against excessive regret, suggesting its limitations.
'Cause half the good things in my life came from half of my mistakes
Highlighting that positive aspects of life stem from mistakes.
Yeah a lotta good things in my life came from half my mistakes
Reaffirming that valuable experiences arise from mistakes.
Half my mistakes
Repeating the acknowledgment of mistakes.
Half my mistakes
-Half my mistakes
