I went to a party, mom, I remembered what you said, You told me not to drink, so I drank
soda instead, I really felt proud inside, the way you said I would, I didn't drink and drive, even though the others said I should, I know I did the right thing, mom, I know your always right, Now the party is finally ending,as everyone is driving out of sight, As I got into my car, I knew I'd get home in one piece, Because of the way you raised me,so responsible and sweet I started to drive away, but as I pulled out onto the road, The other car didn't see me, and hit me like a load, As I lay here on the pavement, I hear the Policeman say, The other guy is drunk, and now I'm the one who will pay, I'm lying here dying, 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, and most of it is mine. I hear the medic say, I'll die in a short time.

I just wanted to tell you, mom, I swear I didn't drink. It was the others. 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, 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. Tell daddy to be brave. And when I go to heaven, mom, put
"Daddy's boy" on my grave, Someone should have told him, not to drink and drive. If only they
had told him, I would still be alive.

My breath is getting shorter, mom. I'm becoming very scared. Please don't cry for me. When I
needed you, you were always there. I have on last question, mom, before I say good-bye. I
didn't drink and drive, so why am I the one to die?
