i was invited to a party, a few roads across town. i thought i'd meet my friends there,
but they werent around.
so i hopped into my beat up car,
ready for adventure.
my mom came racing to my door,
i was ready for my lecture.
instead she told me softly,
to be careful that warm night.
i promised her that 'd drive safe,
that everything would be all right.
i arrived at the location,
and accepted a small drink.
i didnt really want it,
but i didnt stop to think.
soon i was gulping cocktails
feeling light with each sip.
and felt so free, invincible,
as i swallowed the last drip.
the room was spininning freely, as i danced accross the floor.
and i woundered why i hadn't ever
drank this much before.
then, despite my happiness and fun,
my head began to ache.
i found my car keys in my purse,
'cause my brain was going to break.
i stumbled across the gardens,
unlocked my beat up car.
started up the engine,
headed across town once more.
but somthing tragic happend,
i didnt see the light.
i didn't see the people, either,
crossing that warm nigh.
as i slid across the pavement,
i knew my time had come.
my head just kept spining,
all this just for fun.
the next moments were quite and hazy,
as i lay mangled in the car.
pain shooting through my body ,
never thought it'd go this far.
heard sirens in the background
rushing to my aid.
but as i closed my tired eyes,
i knew it was too late.
as i saw the world below me, my heart just filled with dread.
i saw the people i hit,
and new they were dead.
i cried so hard on that warm night
as i floated throught the sky
knowing that it was my fault,
and i never said good-bye.
now im floating up to heaven,
where i really dont belong.
brought so much pain to others,
did something really wrong.
i killed six happy people,
four kids, a man and wife,
and im laying in a coffin,
becaous i lost my precious life.
i see my mother upset face,
her eyes so filled with tears.
"this wasn't supposed to happend this is exactly what i feard."
i was just a normal teen,
who had too much to drink.
i had a boyfriend, did well in school,
but that nighti didnt think.
so next time you're invited
to a party with your friends,
pleas remember this could be the night when it could end.
i learned all the hard way,
and made a terrible mistake.
so pleas dont do wat i did,
and drink as much as you can take.
i had so much before me,
a great future straight ahead.
i wanted to be and actress,
but i cant becaouse im dead.
it happend all so quickly,
didnt even fihgt.
didnt know how fast my life could end.
i'll always remember that warm night.
