Someone Should Have
Told Him ..
I went to the birthday party,
But I remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink at all,
So I had a 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'd 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 piece.
Never knowing what was coming,
Something I expected least.
As I lie here on the pavement,
I can hear the policeman say.
The kid that caused this wreck was drunk,
His voice seems far away.
My own blood is all around me,
As I try hard not to cry.
I hear the paramedics say,
This girl is going to die
And now the pain is cutting me,
Like a hundred stabbing knives.
Tell my sister not to be afraid,
And tell my Daddy to be brave.
And when I go to heaven
Put "Daddy's girl" on my grave.
Someone should have tought him,
That its wrong to drink and drive.
Maybe if his parents had,
Then I would be alive.
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.
