WHY?

When I went to a party mom, I remember what you said.
You told me not to drink mom, so I drank soda instead.

I felt really proud mom, the way you said I would.
I didn't drink and drive mom, even tnough the others said I should.

I know I did the right thing mom, I know you're always right.
Now the party is finally ending mom, as everyone drives 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 mom, so responsible and sweet.

I started to drive away mom, but as I pulled onto the road,
the other car didn't see me mom, it hit me like a load.

As i lie here on the pavement mom, I hear the policemen say,
The other guy is drunk mom, and now I'm the one who'll pay.

I'm lying here dying mom, I wish you'd get here soon.
How come this happened to me mom? My life burst like a balloon.

There's blood all around me mom, and most of it is mine.
I hear the paramedics say mom, I'll be dead in a short time.

I just wanted to tell you mom, I swear I didn't drink.
It was the others mom, the others who didn't think.

He didn't know where he was going mom, he was probably at the same party as I.
The only difference mom, he drank and I will die.

Why do people drink mom? It can ruin your whole life.
I'm feeling sharp pains now mom, while all I can do is stare.

Tell brother not to cry mom, tell daddy to be brave.
And when I get to heaven mom, write "daddy girl" on my grave.

Someone should have told him mom. not to drink and drive.
If only they'd had taken the time mom, I would still be alive.

My breath is getting shorter mom, I'm becoming very scared.
Please don't cry for me mom, because when I needed you, you were always there.

I have one last question mom, before I say good-bye.
I didn't drink mom, 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 mom, "I love you and good-bye".
