I've had dreams crash and burn I've learned lessons I wish I never learned And I've let love turn to hate And I hate I made those mistakes Forgiveness ain't much different than salvation And searching for 'em both will try your patients Despite my good intentions and my best laid plans All that's outta my hands So I'm just trying to do the best I can The best I can, I'm doing the best I can I'm doing the best I can I've found hope and then I've lost it I'm just like you, I've got ghosts in my closet I still don't know what I'm looking for But I've got faith in something more Forgiveness ain't much different than salvation And searching for 'em both will try your patients Despite my good intentions and my best laid plans All that's outta my hands So I'm just trying to do the best I can The best I can, I'm doing the best I can I'm doing the best I can I can't do anything about anything But what I'm doing now Yes, I live with a lot of old regrets But I've just gotta to keep on looking up ahead I'm just trying to do the best I can The best I can, I'm doing the best I can I'm doing the best I can Yeah, I'm just trying to do the best I can The best I can, the best I can I'm doing the best I can
