I went to a party,
and remembered what u said,
u told me not to drink. Mom,
so i had a sprite instead.

I felt proud of myself,
the way you said i would,
that i didn´t drink and drive,
thought some friends sad 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,
sometimes i expected least.

Now i´m lying on the pavement,
and i hear the policeman say,
“the kid who cause 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 choose to drink and drive,
now 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. Mom,
tell daddy to be brave,
and when i go to heaven,
put “Daddy´s Girl” on my grave.

Someone should have tought 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.
