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, as 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, 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 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 good bye.. I didn't drink and drive, so why am I the one to die? |
