I messed up
That's on me
An admission of personal error or failure.
The phrase acknowledges responsibility for a mistake, ranging from minor slip-ups to serious blunders: I messed up the reservation—we don't have a table, I messed up, and I'm sorry.
The tone can be casual or deeply contrite depending on context.
