but I remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink at all,
so I had a Sprite instead.
I felt proud of myself,
the way you said I would.
That I didn't choose to drink and drive,
although some friends thought I should.
I know I made a healthy choice,
and your advice to me was right.
As the party finally ended,
The kids drove out of site.
I got into my own car,
Sure to get home in one piece.
Never knowing what was coming,
Something I expected least.
Now I'm laying on the pavement,
I can hear the Police say.
"The kid who caused this wreck was drunk,"
his voice was far away.
My own blood is all around me,
as I try not to cry.
I can hear the Paramedic say,
"This girl is going to die."
I'm sure this guy had no idea,
while he was flying high.
Because he chose to drink and drive,
That I would have to die.
So why do people do it?
Knowing that it ruins lives?
But now the pain is cutting me,
Like a thousand stabbing knives.
Tell my sister not to be afraid,
Tell my daddy to be brave.
And when I go to heaven put
"Daddy's girl" on my grave.
Someone should have taught him,
That it's wrong to drink and drive.
Maybe if his mom and dad had,
I'd still be alive.
My breath is getting shorter,
I'm getting really scared.
These are my final thoughts,
And I'm so unprepared.
I wish that you could hold me mom,
As I lie here and die.
I wish I could say,
I love you and Good-bye.
