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
