Why Am I The One To Die?

Why Am I The One To Die?
I went to this party mum.. I remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink mum.. So I drank soda instead.
I felt real proud inside mum.. The way you said I would.
Even though all my friends mum, told me that I should.
I know I did the right thing mum, I know you’re always right.
The party’s finally ending mum.. Everyone is driving out of sight.

As I got inside my car mum, I knew I’d get home in one piece.
Because the way you made me feel mum, so responsible, so sweet.
As I started to drive away mum, as I pulled into the road,
The other guy didn’t see me mum, and hit me like a load.
I lay there on the pavement mum, I hear the policeman say,
The other guy was drunk mum, now I’m the one to pay.

I’m lying here dying mum, I wish you’d get here soon.
How come this happened to me mum, my life bursted like a balloon.
There’s blood all around me mum, all of it is mine.
I hear the paramedics say mum, I will die in a short time.
He didn’t know where he was going mum, he was probably at the same party as I.
There’s one big difference though mum.. He’s going to live and I’m going to die.

Why do people drink mum.. It can ruin your life.
I’m feeling sharp pains mum, just like a burning knife.
The man who hit me mum is walking, it’s not fair.
I’m lying here dying mum, while all he does is stare.
Tell my brother not to cry mum, tell dad to be brave.
For when I’m in heaven mum, write my name on my grave.

Someone should have told him mum, not to drink and drive.
If he hadn’t been drinking mum, I’d still be alive.
My breath is growing short mum, I’m feeling really scared.
Please don’t cry for me mum, because when I needed you, you were there.
I have one last question mum, before I say goodbye..
I didn’t even have one drink mum, so why am I the one to die?

This is the end then mum..
I wish I could have cuddled you and looked you in the eye..
To say these final words mum.. I love you so much and goodbye.

She Is Gone.
You can shed tears that she is gone
Or you can smile because she has lived
You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her
Or you can be full of the love that you shared
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday
You can remember her and only that she is gone
Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what she would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

I’m really There.
When I come to you in dreams, I’m really there.
When you see me out of the corner of your eye, I’m really there.
When you feel me around the place, I’m really there.
I haven’t left you, not really.
My spirit is everywhere.
