I went to a party, Mom, I remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink or do drugs, Mom, so I drank soda instead. I really felt proud inside, Mom, the way you said I would.
I didn't drink, do drugs, 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 "high," 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 or do drugs. It was the others, Mom. The others didn't think.
He was probably at the same party as I. The only difference is, he got high and I will die.
Why do people use drugs, Mom? It can ruin your whole life.
I'm feeling sharp pains now, Mom. 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 do drugs 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 do drugs or drink and drive, so why am I the one to die? |
