~* Death of an Innocent *~ |
| 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 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, Mom 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'll 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,
Mom 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,
Mom Pains just like a knife.
|
|
| The
guy who hit me is walking,
Mom And I don't think it is fair.
|
|
| I'm
lying here dying,
Mom And all he can do is stare.
|
|
| Tell
my brother not to cry,
Mom Tell Daddy to be brave.
|
|
| And
when I get 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.
|
|
| I
have just one last question,
Mom Before I say good-bye. I didn't drink and drive, Mom So why am I the one to die?
|
|
| Mom
wish I could look you in the eye to say these final words.
|
|
| Mom
I love you, and Good bye.
