Lyrics
0:05When I drink
0:09I say things I don't
0:12Wanna say
0:17I do things I don't
0:20Wanna do
0:26I talk mean to you
0:30But if I think
0:33I just might get something
0:36Out of this
0:41My parents taught me to learn
0:45When I miss
0:50Just do your best
0:55Just do your best
0:57It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity
1:02Maybe I don't have to be
1:04Good but I can try to be
1:06At least a little better than I've been so far
1:13But when I drink
1:16I hear things that aren't
1:20Really there
1:25Feel things when I shouldn't
1:28Really care
1:32Have fist fights
1:34With the air
1:37But if I think
1:41About someone besides myself
1:49I lived
1:50Through the silver
1:52And the bell
1:58With something to tell
2:02Just do your best
2:05It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity
2:09Maybe I don't have to be
2:11Good but I can try to be
2:13At least a little better than I've been so far
2:20But when I drink
2:24I spend the next morning
2:28In a haze
2:34But we only get
2:36So many days
2:43Now I have one less
2:47Just do your best
2:50It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity
2:54Maybe I don't have to be
2:56Good but I can try to be
2:58At least a little better than I've been so far
3:04Oh at least a little better than I've been so far
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 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
