I went to a party, mom, I remembered what u said, u told me not to drink, mom,
so I drank soda instead.
I didn’t drink and drive, mom., even though the other 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, mom, so responsible and sweet.

I started to drive away, mom, but as I pulled out into the road, the other didn’t see me, mom,
and hit me like a load.
As I lay there on the pavement, mom, I hear the policemen say, the other guy is drunk, mom,
and I m the one who will pay.

I m lying here dying, mom, I wish you’d get here soon.
How could this happened to me, mom?
My life just burst like a balloon.
There is all blood all around me, mom, and most of it is mine.
I hear the medic say, mom, I will die in a short time.
I just wanted to tell u mom, I swear I didn’t drink.
It was the others, mom.
The others didn’t think.

He was probably as 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 starring.

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 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 goodbye.
I didn’t drink and drive, so why am I the one to die?
