Im Dead Cause You Choose to Drink Drive

by Amy   Dec 27, 2005


Hey mum
here i am
bleeding to death in the gutter
all because of them

because they made a choice
the choice to drink and drive
and because they were stupid
I'm about to lose my life

i was driving home
just me and my mates
in the wrong place at the wrong time
theres decided our fate

they went through
just a single red light
i turned to avoid them
it gave us such a fright

we turned to sharply
spun and hit a post
why do we have to suffer
from having a good day at the coast

i managed to catch my breath
i was bleeding from my head
i looked at my boyfriend
he was defiantly dead

head smashed on the dashboard
body mangled in his seat
why did he have to die
his life was far from complete

i undid my seat belt
and turned to see my friends
one struggling for breath
and one whose life had come to an end

i tried to move to help her
but my legs could not move
she was chocking on her own blood
and her life i quickly loosed

i started crying
all my friends were dead
my boyfriend and best mates
why couldn't it be me instead?

i heard a quiet rumbling
scared it was a broken wire
i tried to get out
but the car exploded into fire

screaming for help
I'm sitting in my seat
i see people through the windows
standing on the concrete

they ran away from the flames
i started to choke
this is the end of my life
its really not a joke

i screamed and cried
smashing my arms on the wheel
this only happens on the movies!
this cannot be real!

choking and screaming
i grabbed my boyfriends hand
I'm coming with you, wait for me
i screamed in demand

i slowly passed out
the smoke was too much
i was awoken
by a familiar touch

my boyfriend grabbed me
and we flew out of the car
i looked down to see
something truly bizarre

my body lying there
i screamed and tried to shout
i saw the firefighters
try to put the fire out

i cried so hard
and my boyfriend held me
the car exploded
our bodies lost in the debris

thats it our life is lost
all because those guys
were incredibly stupid
and chose to drink drive

they didn't get hurt
in fact they cant be found
i don't think they know what they did
cause they didn't stick around

they didn't help
and try to save out lives
instead we had to slowly die
and burn till the firefighters arrived

this happens all the time
no matter where you are
people who drink
and hop in their cars

it never seems to be them
who gets hurt or dies
its never their family
whose left to cry

but they must live with it
for the rest of their lives
they killed someone
because they chose to drink drive
