Death of an innocent, by Kayleigh_Jayde Subscribe to rss feed for Kayleigh_Jayde

I went to a party, mom
I remembered what you said
you told me not to drink, mom
so I drank soda instead.

I felt really 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 your always right.
now the party is finally ending, mom
as everyone drives out of sight.

as I got into my car, mom
I knew I'd get home in one piece,
because of the way you raised me, mom
so responsible and sweet.

I started to drive away, mom
but as I pulled onto the road,
the other car didn't see me, mom
and it hit me like a load.

as I lie here on the pavement, mom
I her the policeman say,
the other guy is drunk,
mom, and now I'm the one who'll pay.

I'm lying here dying, mom
I wish you'd get here soon.
how come this happened to me, mom?
my life bursts like a balloon.

there is blood all around me,
mom, most of it is mine
I hear the paramedic say, mom
I'll die in a very 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 didn't know where he was going, mom
he was probably at the same party as I
the only difference is, mom,
he drank, and I will die.

why do people drink, mom?
I don't think that is fair;
I'm lying here dying, mom
while all he can do is stare.

tell my brother not to cry, mom
tell daddy to be brave,
and when I go to heaven, mom
write Daddy's Girl on my grave.

someone should have told him, mom
not to drink and drive.
if only they would have taken time, mom
I would still be alive.

my breath is getting shorter, mom
I'm becoming very scared.
please don't cry for me, mom
because when I needed you,
you were always there.

I have one last question, mom
before I say good-bye,
I didn't ever drink, mom
so why am I to die?

that is the end, mom
I wish I could look you in the eye,
to say these words, mom
I love you and good-bye.
