When I drink, I say things I don't want to 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.
