Death of an Innocent

I went to a party Mom, I remembered what you said.

You told me not to drink, Mom, so I drank soda instead.

I really felt proud inside, Mom, the way you said I would.

I didn't drink and drive, Mom, even though the others said I should.

I know I did the right thing, Mom, I know you were always right.

Now the party is finally ending, Mom, as everyone is driving out of sight.

As I got into my car, Mom, but as I pulled out into the road

The other car didn't see me, Mom? My life just burst like a ballon.

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 beat me is walikng, Mom, and I don't think it's fair.

I'm lying here and dying and all he can do is stare.

Tell my brother not to cry, MOm, and tell my 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 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 drink and drive, so why am I to die?

xoxo,
