I WENT TO THE PARTY
BUT I REMEMBERED WHAT YOU SAID
YOU TOLD ME NOT TO DRINK AT ALL
SO I HAD SPRITE INSTEAD
I FELT PROUD OF MYSELF
THE WAY YOU SAID I WOULD
THAT I DIDN'T CHOOSE TO DRINK AND DRIVE
THOUGH SOME FRIENDS SAID I SHOULD
I KNEW I MADE A HEALTHY CHOICE AND
YOUR ADVICE TO ME WAS RIGHT
AS THE PARTY FINALLY ENDED
AND THE KIDS DROVE OUT OF SIGHT
I GOT INTO MY OWN CAR
SURE TO GET HOME IN ONE PEICE
NEVER KNOWING WHAT WAS COMING
SOMETHING I EXPECTED LEAST
NOW I'M LYING ON THE PAVEMENT
I CAN HEAR THE POLICEMAN SAY
"THE KID WHO CAUSED THE WRECK WAS DRUNK"
HIS VOICE SEEMS FAR AWAY
MY OWN BLOOD IS ALL AROUND ME
AS I TRY HARD NOT 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
THAT I WOULD HAVE TO DIE
SO WHY DO PEOPLE DO IT
KNOWING THAT IT RUINS LIVES
BUT NOW THE PAIN IS CUTTING ME
LIKE A HUNDREAD STABBING KNIVES
TELL MY BROTHER NOT TO BE AFRAID
TELL DADDY TO BE BRAVE
AND WHEN I GO TO HEAVEN TO
PUT "DADDY'S GIRL" ON MY GRAVE
SOMEONE SHOULD HAVE TAUGHT HIM
THAT ITS WRONG TO DRINK AND DRIVE
MAYBE IF HIS MOM AND DAD HAVE
I'D STILL BE ALIVE
MY BREATH IS GETTING SHORTER
I'M REALLY GETTING SCARED
THESE ARE MY FINAL MOMENTS
AND I'M SO UNPREPARED
I WISH THAT YOU COULD HOLD ME, MOM
AS I LIE HERE AND DIE
I WISH THAT I COULD SAY
I LOVE YOU AND GOODBYE!!!
