I went to a party, mom,
I
remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink, Mom,
So I
drank soda instead.
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 will 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.
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,
Pains
just like a knife.
The guy who hit me is walking, Mom,
And I don't think it's fair.
I'm lying here dying,
And all he
can do is stare.
Tell my brother not to cry, Mom,
Tell Daddy to be brave.
And when I go 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 one last question, Mom,
Before I say goodbye.
I didn't drink and drive,
So why am
I the one to die?
