Migration failed, and can't add new migration

Hello, I've tried to add a change to a table

import { pgTable, serial, text } from 'drizzle-orm/pg-core';

export const categories = pgTable('categories', {
  id: serial('id').primaryKey(),
  name: text('name').notNull().unique(),
  label: text('label').notNull()
});


I run generate and migrate after and my migration failed because I table was already populated with data

after the failure I changed to this
export const categories = pgTable('categories', {
  id: serial('id').primaryKey(),
  name: text('name').notNull().unique(),
  label: text('label')
});


but it's still failing with this error
PostgresError: column "label" of relation "categories" contains null values

}


I checked the migration files
// BEFORE
ALTER TABLE "categories" ADD COLUMN "label" text NOT NULL;


// AFTER
ALTER TABLE "categories" ALTER COLUMN "label" DROP NOT NULL;


I see the second migration it's trying to alter the label column but that column doesn't exist becuase the previous migration failed.
How I can handle this?
