The accident

I told you I loved you, you told me you loved me,
the two of us just knew that we were meant to be.

We talked about forever never having a doubt,
we'd grow up, have a family and see what that was all about.

But then that tragic day when we got into the car,
we hadn't even planned on going very far.

Just around the block for a simple ride,
I never could've imagined that'd be the day you died.

As we turned that corner of that little street,
a car with a drunk driver we decided to meet.

We tried to get out of the way
we were swerving left and right,
but it wasn't worth it
it was a useless fight.

I just want an explanation
why you and I?
you were the last person who deserved to die.

What about that other kid
the one behind the wheel,
this might be a horrible thing to say but why didn't he get killed.

Why someone who did nothing at all doesn't that seem unfair,
that other kid left without a scratch
he left without a care.

I just don't know where to start
I can't believe it's true,
why did this happen?
why did it happen to you?

When I woke up
I saw you laying there,
I saw lots of flashing lights
you seemed so unaware.

As I crawled over to you
tears streamed down my face,
you were my true love
that no one could replace.

If only that kid hadn't drank that beer,
then my true love, you would still be here.

But now they're loading you up
your about to be long gone,
you've left me on this earth
and I feel so alone.

No one can replace
all you've given me,
why did this have to happen to a couple like you and me?

We already had our life planned out
the future was in our hands,
but God has taken you far away to another land.
