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
