I read this over on the Cast & Catch forum, Sort of puts a lump in your throat, Did mine.
I went to a party, Mum, I remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink, Mum, so I drank soda instead.
I really felt proud inside, 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 is finally ending, Mum, as everyone is driving out of sight.
As I got into my car, Mum, I knew I\'d get home in one piece.
Because of the way you raised me, so responsible and sweet.
I started to drive away, Mum, but as I pulled out into the road,
The other car didn\'t see me, Mum, and hit me like a load.
As I lay there on the pavement, Mum, I hear the policeman say,
The other guy is drunk, Mum, and now I\'m the one who will pay.
I\'m lying there dying, Mum, I wish you\'d get here soon.
How could this happen to me, Mum? My life just burst like a balloon.
There is blood all around me, Mum, and most of it is mine.
I hear the medic say, Mum, I\'ll die 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 was probably at the same party as I,
The only difference is, he drank and I will die.
Why do people drink, Mum? It can ruin your whole life.
I\'m feeling sharp pains now; pains just like a knife.
The guy who hit me is walking, Mum, and I don\'t think it is fair.
I\'m lying here dying and all he can do is stare.
Tell my brother not to cry, Mum, tell Daddy to be brave.
And when I go to heaven, Mum, put \"Daddy\'s Girl\" on my grave.
Someone should have told him, Mum, not to drink and drive.
If only they had told him, Mum, I would still be alive.
My breath is getting shorter, Mum, I\'m becoming very scared.
Don\'t cry for me, Mum, when I needed you, you were always there.
I have one last question, Mum, before I say good bye,
I didn\'t drink and drive, so why am I the one to die?
