i went to a party
but I remember what you said.
You told me not to drink at all,
So i had sprite instead.
I felt proud of myself
the way you said I would,
that I didnt choose to drink and drive,
though someone said I should.
I knew 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 own car,
sure to get home in one peice,
never knowing what was coming,
something i expected least.
Now im lying on the pavement.
I can hear policemen say
"the kid that casued this wreck was drunk"
His voice seemed far away.
My own blood is all around me,
as i try not to cry.
I can hear the paramedic say
"the girl is going to die"
Im sure the guy had no idea,
while he was flying high
because he chose to drink and drive
that I wounld have to die.
So why do people do it,
knowing that it ruins lives?
But now the pain is cutting me
like 100 stabbing knives.
Tell my sister not to be afraid,
tell daddy to be brave,
and when i go to heaven to
put "Daddy's girl" on my grave.
Someone should have taught him
that it was wrong to drink and drive.
Maybe if mom and dad had,
Id still be alive.
My breath is getting shorter,
Im getting reallt scared.
These are my final moments,
and im 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 and good bye.
