I went to a party, mom
I remembered what you said
You told me not to drink, mom
So I drank a soda instead
I felt really proud inside, mom
I know you're always right
Now the party is finally ending, mom
And everyone is driving out of sight
As I got in my car, mom
I knew I'd get home in one piece
Because of the way you raised me, mom
So responsible and so sweet
I started to drive away, mom
But as I pulled out on the road
The other car didn't see me, mom
And hit me like a load
As I lie here on the pavement, mom
I hear the policeman say
The other guy is drunk, mom
And I'm the one who'll pay
I'm laying here dying, mom
I wish you'd get here soon
How come this is happening to me?, mom
My life burst like a balloon
There is blood all around me, mom
Most of it is mine
I hear the paramedic say, mom
I'll be dead 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 didn't know where he was going, mom
He was probaby at the same party as I
The difference is, mom
He drank and I'm the one to die
Why do people drink?, mom
It can ruin your whole life
I'm feeling sharp pains, mom
Pains just like a knife
The guy who hit me is walking, mom
I just don't think it's fair
I'm lying here dying, mom
While all they can do is stare
Tell my brother not to cry, mom
Tell daddy to be brave
And when I get to heaven, mom
Write "Daddy's little girl" on my grave
Someone should have told him, mom
Not to drink and drive
I'm sure people love him, mom
If only they'd have taken the time
My breath is getting shorter,mom
Before I say goodbye
I didn't ever drink, mom
So why am I the one to die?
This is the end, mom
I wish I could look you in the eye
To say these final words, mom
I love you and goodbye.
