DEATH OF AN INNOCENT
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 mom, the way you said I would.
I didn't drink and drive mom, even the others said I should.
I know I did the right thing mom, I know you're always right.
Now the party's ending mom, as everyone is driving out of sight
As I got into my car mom, I knew I would 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 in the road
The other car didn't see me mom, and he hit me like a load.
As I lay here on the pavement mom, I here the policeman say,
The other guy is drunk, mom, and how I'm the one who will pay,
I'm lying here dying mom, I wish you would get here soon.
How could this happen to me mom, my life 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 mom, he drank and I will die.
Why do people drink mom, it can ruin your whole life.
I'm feeling sharp pains now, pains like a knife,
The guy who hit me is walking mom, and I don't think it's fair.
I'm lying 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, 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'?
