f AUTHOR UNKNOWN \ I went to a party Mum, I remembered what you said, you told me not to drink, So I drank Coke instead. I felt really proud Mum, the way you said I would, I didn't drink and drive Mum, even though the others said I should. I know I did the right thing Mum, I know you are always right, Now the party's finally ending Mum, as everyone drives out of sight. As I get into my car Mum, and as I pulled out onto the road the other car didn't see me Mum, and hit me like a load. As I lie here on the footpath Mum, I hear the policeman say, the other guy is drunk Mum, and I'm the one who'll pay. I'm lying here dying Mum, I wish you'd get here soon, how come this happened to me Mum, my life burst like a balloon. There is blood all around me Mum, most of it is mine, I hear the doctor say Mum, 111 be dead in a short time. I just wanted to tell you Mum, I swear I didn't drink, it was the others Mum, the others didn't think. He didn't know where he was going Mum, he was probably at the same party as I, the only difference is Mum, he drank and I will die. Why do people drink Mum it can ruin your whole life, I'm feeling sharp pains now Mum, pains just like a knife. The guy who hit me is walking Mum, I don't thinks it is fair, I'm lying here dying Mum, while all he can do is stare. Tell my brothers not to cry Mum, tell Dad to be brave,\ and when I get to heaven Mum, write "daddy's girl" on my grave. Someone should have told him Mum, not to drink and drive, if only they had taken the time Mum, I would still be alive. My breath is getting shorter Mum, I'm becoming very scared, please don't cry for me Mum, because when I needed you, you were always there. I have one last question Mum, before I say goodbye, I didn't even drink Mum, so why am I to die? This is the end Mum, I wish I could look you in the eye, to say these final words Mum, I love you and goodbye.
