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
|
