When I drink, I say things I don't wanna say
I do things i don't wanna do
I talk mean to you.
But if I think, I just might get something out of this
My parents taught me to learn when i miss
Just do your best.
Just do your best.
It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity
Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be
at least a little better than I've been so far.
But when I drink, I hear things that aren't really there
I feel things when i shouldn't really care
Have fist fights with the air.
But if I think, about someone besides myself
I lived through the silver and the bell
With something to tell
Just do your best
It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity
Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be
at least a little better than I've been so far.
But when I drink, I spend the next morning in a haze
But we only get so many days
Now I have one less
Just do your best.
It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity
Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be
at least a little better than I've been so far.
Oh, at least a little better than I've been so far.
