“I went to a party, mom”

I went to a party, mom
and remembered what you said
You told me not to drink and drive
so I had a Sprite instead

I felt proud of myself
the way you said I would
that I didn’t drink and drive
though some friends said I should

I made a healthy choice
and your advice to me was right
as the party finally ended,
and the kids drove out of sight

I got into my car
sure to get home in one piece,
I never knew what was coming, Mom
something I expected least

Now I’m lying on the pavement
And I hear the policeman say
“The kid that caused this wreck was drunk”
Mom, his voice seems far away

My own blood’s all around me
as I try hard not to cry
I can hear the paramedic 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
I would have to die

So why do people do it mom?
Knowing that it ruins lives?
And now the pain is cutting me
like a hundred stabbing knives

Tell sister not to be afraid
tell daddy to be brave
and when I go to heaven
put “Daddy’s girl” on my grave

Someone should had 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 really scared
These are my final moments
and I’m so unprepared

I wish that you could hold me Mom
as I lie here and die
I wish that I could say I love you, Mom
so I love you and goodbye
