[size=8]How I Met your Mother season 1 ep.17 [/h]

Now I'm struggling
I black out so I can't dream
But I still see you sneaking
Through my weary head
I suffer from a drought
Of medicine to dull self-doubt
I just want to drown you out
With southern poison

If I had a drink
For every God damn time I think
About your pale skin dressed in pink
Then at least I could sleep
If I had a shot
For every God damn time I thought
About your face and what I lost
At least I'd get some
