I went to a party mum

I went to a party
and remembered what you said,
You told me not to drink,
so I had a sprite instead...

I felt proud of myself,
the way you said I would.
That I didn't drink and drive,
though some friends said I should.

I made a healthy choice,
and your advise to me was right.
The party finally ended
and the kids drove out of sight.

I got into my car,
sure to get home in peace.
I never knew what was coming,
something I espected atleast.

Now I'm laying on the paverment,
and I hear the police-man say,
The kid coused this wreck was drunk,
his voice seems far away.

My own blood is all around me
as I try hard to cry.
I can hear the paramedic say,
this girl is going to die.

I'm sure the guy had no idea,
while he was flying high,
Because he chose to drink and drive.
Now I would have to die.

So why people do it,mum
knowing that it ruins lives?
And now the pain is cutting me
like a hundred stabbing knives.

Tell sister not to be afraid,mum
tell daddy to be brave
and when I go to heaven,
put "daddy's girl" on my grave.

Someone should have told him
that it's wrong to drink and drive.
Maybe if his parents had,
I wouls still be alive.

My breath is getting shorter,mum
I'm getting really scared.
These are my final moments,
and I'm so unprepaired.

I wish that you could hold me,mum
as I lie here to die.
I wish that I could say I love you,
so I love you and good-bye....
