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 didn't drink and drive, Mom, even though the others said I should.
I know I did the right thing, Mom, I know you are always right.
Now the party is finally ending
Mom, as everyone is driving out of sight.
As I got into my car, Mom, I knew I'd 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 didn't 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 I'm the one who will pay.
I'm lying here dying, Mom.. I wish you'd 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, I'll die in a short time.
I just wanted to tell you, Mom, I swear I didn't drink.
It was the others, Mom. The others didn't think.
He was probably at the same party as I.
The only difference is, he drank and I will die.
Why do people drink, Mom? It can ruin your
whole life.I'm feeling sharp pains now.
Pains just like a knife.The guy who hit me is walking,
Mom, and I don't think it's fair.I'm 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.
I'm becoming very scared.Please don't cry for me, Mom. When I needed you,
you were always there.
