I went to a party Mom, i remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink Mom, so i drank soda instead.
I really felt proud inside Mom, the way you said i would.
I didnt drink and drive Mom, even though the others said i should.
I know i did the right thing Mom, i know you were always right.
Now the party is finally ending Mom, as everyone is driving out of sight.
As i got in my car Mom, i knew id get home in one piece.
Because of the way you raised me, so responsible and sweet.
I started to drive away Mom, but as i pulled out into the road,
The other car didnt see me Mom, and hit me like a load.
As i lay there on the pavement Mom, i hear the policeman say,
"The other guy is drunk" Mom, and now im the one who will pay.
Im lying here dying Mom... i wish youd get here soon.
How could this happen to me Mom? My life just burst like a balloon.
There is blood all around me Mom, and most of it is mine.
I hear the medic say Mom, ill die in a short time.
I just wanted to tell you Mom, i swear i didnt drink.
It was the others Mom, the others didnt think.
He was probably at the same party as i,
The only difference is that he drank, and i will die.
Why do people drink Mom? It can ruin your whole life.
Im feeling sharp pains now, pains like a knife.
The guy who hit me is walking Mom, and i dont think its fair.
Im lying here dying, and all he can do is stare.
Tell my brother not to cry Mom, tell Daddy to be brave.
And when i go to Heaven Mom, put "Daddy's Girl" on my grave.
Someone should have told him Mom, not to drink and drive.
If only they had told him Mom, I would still be alive.
My breath is getting shorter Mom, im becoming very scared.
Please dont cry for me Mom, when i needed you, you were always there.
I have one last question Mom, before i say goodbye.
I didnt drink and drive.
So why am i the one to die?
