My friends and I were at this party last Friday night
One of my friends had a beer
I told her it wouldn't make her drunk
I was wrong although she had a couple more after that one
I told her to stop but she wouldn't listen
That night after the party she drove herself home
Even though I offered her a ride
But she said she would be okay
I just walked in the door and the phone rang
I picked it up thinking it was her
But it was the police
So I asked them what was wrong
Then the officer told me that my friend had died
He said that she ran into a tree
And that she appeared to be drunk
Then he said that when they got there it was too late to do anything
Because she had lost too much blood
I told him that she can't be dead and started to cry
He said that the last thing she said was my phone number
I asked him if he wanted me to go up there
He said that was okay because there was nothig I could of done
I told him he was wrong
I could of stopped her from drinking the beer
Then he asked me to tell her parents
So I went to her house to tell them
But on the way I saw the accident
I felt so bad and like it was my fault
She was laying on the side of the road surrounded by her blood
I arrived at her house
I pulled myself together and rang her doorbell
Her mom came to the door
I told her I needed to talk to her and her husband
She got him to come over to the door
I said to them that they were going to hate what I had to say
They asked what so I told them that their daughter had died
And explained everything to them
Then a week later was her funeral
I went up to her and whispered into her ear
"I shouldn't of let you drive drunk"
Up to this day I still ask myself
Why did I let her do that?
