[Verse 1] I burned the toast again And laughed at my own shame Paid the fee, missed the train Wore the stain like my name I said the wrong thing fast Watched it land on your face I keep learning in reverse In the mess I make [Pre-Chorus] Still I patch it up With shaking hands Still I show up late But I still stand [Chorus] One mistake at a time (one mistake at a time) I’m getting through the night (one mistake at a time) If I fall, I fall alive If I break, I’m back in line One mistake at a time (one mistake at a time) [Verse 2] There’s a dent in the door And a crack in my phone Every little bruise Tells me where I’ve grown I lost a good friend once To my stubborn mouth Now I count to ten Before it all comes out [Pre-Chorus] Still I patch it up With shaking hands Still I show up late But I still stand [Chorus] One mistake at a time (one mistake at a time) I’m getting through the night (one mistake at a time) If I fall, I fall alive If I break, I’m back in line One mistake at a time (one mistake at a time) [Bridge] I don’t need a clean start Just a next step A little more grace Than I gave myself I’m not fixed yet But I’m here And that counts That counts [Chorus] One mistake at a time (one mistake at a time) I’m getting through the night (one mistake at a time) If I fall, I fall alive If I break, I’m back in line One mistake at a time (one mistake at a time)
