Party

I went to a party, Mom,
I remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink,
So I drank soda instead.

I felt really proud inside,
The way you said I would,
I didn�t drink and drive,
Even though others said I should.

I know I did the right thing,
I know you�re always right,
Now the party is finally ending,
And everyone drives out of sight.

As I got in my car,
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,
But as I pulled onto the road,
The other car didn�t see me,
It hit me like a load.

As I lie here on the pavement,
I hear the policeman say,
The other guy is drunk,
And now I�m the one who will pay. 

I�m lying here drying,
I wish you�d get here soon, 
Why has this happened to me,
My life burst like a balloon.

There is blood all around me,
Most of it mine.
I hear the paramedic say,
I�ll be dead in a short time.

I just wanted to tell you,
I swear I didn�t drink,
It was the others,
The  others didn�t think.

He didn�t know where he was going, 
He was probably at the same party as I.
The only difference is,
He drank and I will die.

Why do people drink,
It can ruin your whole life.
I�m feeling the sharp pains now,
Pains just like a knife.

The guy who hit me is walking,
I don�t think it�s fair
I�m lying here dying,
While all they can do is stare.

Tell my brother not to cry,
Tell Daddy to be brave,
And when I get to heaven,
Write �Daddy�s Little Girl� on my grave.

Someone should have told him, 
Not to drink and drive.
If only they�d have taken the time,
I would still be alive.

My breath is getting shorter,
I�m becoming very scared.
Please don�t cry for me,
Because when I needed you, you were always there.

I have one last question, 
Before I say goodbye,
I didn�t ever drink,
So, why am I to die?

This is the end, Mom.
I wish I could look you in the eye
To say these final words,
I love You and Goodbye.
