Why, Mum?



i told you 'bout this party mum
i told you where i'd be
i said i wouldnt drink there mum
and you beleived me
it was a good party mum
i was drinking soda
i was capable of driving mum
i was the only one still soba
when i was backing out the drive way mum
there were bright lights, i couldnt see
i swear it wasnt my foult mum
but a car of drunks hit me
i flew right out the window mum
and landed in the dirt
i was lying in a pool of blood mum
i was the only one hurt
i could see the ones who did it mum
but all i can do is cry
how come i did nothing wrong mum
but im still the one to die?
