You told me not to drink, Mom, so I drank soda,
as I lay there on the pavement, Mom, I hear the
policeman say, the other guy is drunk, 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.
It was the others, Mom, the others didn't think.
He was probably at the same party as I.
The only difference is, he drank and I will die.
Why do people drink, Mom, It can ruin your whole life.
I'm feeling sharp pains now, 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 drink 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 goodbye.
I didn't drink and drive, so why am I the one to die?
