A shot of you

[Reedo]

First shot gives me a start
To think how we slowly grew apart
How it all ended to soon
How I was crazy for you like a loon.

Second shot makes me wonder
If I was just another blunder
How your feelings for me had to change
Has my emotions feeling strange.

Third shot reminds me of the thrills
But the memory just gives me the chills
Has me shivering like I'm cold
Why won't these memories just grow old.

Fourth shot I start to lose reason
Also has me feeling treason
But the thought of you is still to clear
Losing you was my biggest fear

Fifth shot I start to stumble
But my thoughts of you still won't crumble
I hope you don't feel like this
I'm something you wouldn't miss

Sixth shot makes me feel numb
But your name is what I hum
All my words go down the drain
But you stick inside my brain

Seventh shot to help distort my memory
To try and make you into an enemy
When I try, I find the flaws with in myself
Grab another bottle off the shelf

Eighth shot has me on the floor
Wishing you'd walk through my door
No bad memory can be found
So set up another round

Ninth shot I can barely pour
But I think I still need more
Because you won't leave my head you've got me afraid of my bed

Tenth shot and I've lost the jug
I just mourn for one more hug
Now my body is nearly lame
And you're the one to blame

So give me a shot I've named after you
That rids me from all my blues
That empties me of all old news
Fake my memories so I don't know what's true
Fake my eyes so I can't see you
So let the booze poison me
So escape my head and leave me be
I just want the thought of you gone
I just don't think I can go on
All I need for my dreams to come true
Is just one more shot of you.
