you told me not to drink and drive, mom
so i had a sprite instead
i felt proud of myself the way you said i would
that i didn't have to drink and drive
though some friends said i should
i made a healthy choice
and your advice to me was right
the party finally ended and kids drove out of sight
i got in my car, sure to get home in one piece
i never knew what was coming, mom
his voice seems so far away
my own blood around me as i try hard not to cry
i can hear the paramedics say
this girl is going to die
i'm sure the guy had no idea, while he was flying high
because he chose to drink and drive
now i have to die
so why do people do it mom, knowing it ruins lives?
now the pain is killing me, like a hundred knives
tell sister not to be afraid, mom
tell dad 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 parents had
i'd still be alive
my breath is getting shorter, mom
i'm getting scared
these are my final moments and i'm so unprepared
i want you to hold me mom, as i lie hear and die
i wish i could say i love you
so i love you and goodbye
