Verse 1

I went to a party, mom.

I remember what you said.

You told me not to drink, mom.

So I drank a soda instead.

I really felt proud inside, mom.

The way you said I would.

I didn't drink and drive, mom.

Even tough the others said I should.

I know I did the right thing, mom.

I know you are always right.

Now the party is finally ending, mom.

As everyone is driving out of sight.

As I got into my car, mom.

I knew I'd get home in one piece.

Because of the way you raised me.

So responsible and sweet.

Chorus

I started to drive away, mom.

But as I pulled out into the road.

The other car didn't se me, mom.

And hit me like a load.

As I lay there on the pavement, mom.

I hear the policeman say:

'The other guy is drunk', mom.

And now I'm the one who will pay.

I'm laying here dying, mom...

I wish you get here soon.

Someone should have told him, mom.

Not to drink and drive.

If only they had told him, mom.

I would still be alive.

Verse 2

How could this happened to me, mom?

My life is just burst like a balloon.

There is blood all around me, mom.

And most of it is mine.

I hear the medic say, mom.

I'll die in a short time

I just wanted to tell you, mom.

I swear, I didn't drink.

It was the others think.

He was probably at the same party as I

And I will die.

Why do people drink, mom?

It can ruin your whole life.

I'm feeling sharp pains now.

Pains just like a knife.

The guy who hit me is walking, mom.

I'm laying here dying.

And all he can do is stare.

Tell my brother not to cry, mom.

Tell daddy to be brave.

And when I go to heaven, mom.

Put 'daddy´s girl' on my grave.

Chorus

I started to drive away, mom.

But as I pulled out into the road.

The other car didn't se me, mom.

And hit me like a load.

As I lay there on the pavement, mom.

I hear the policeman say:

'The other guy is drunk', mom.

And now I'm the one who will pay.

I'm laying here dying, mom...

I wish you get here soon.

Someone should have told him, mom.

Not to drink and drive.

If only they had told him, mom.

I would still be alive.

Verse 3

My breath is getting shorter, mom.

I´m becoming very scared.

Please don't cry for me, mom.

When I needed you,

You were always there.

I have one last question, mom.

Before I say goodbye.

I didn´t drink and drive, mom,

So why am I the one to die?

Chorus

I started to drive away, mom.

But as I pulled out into the road.

The other car didn't se me, mom.

And hit me like a load.

As I lay there on the pavement, mom.

I hear the policeman say:

'The other guy is drunk', mom.

And now I'm the one who will pay.

I'm laying here dying, mom...

I wish you get here soon.

Someone should have told him, mom.

Not to drink and drive.

If only they had told him, mom.

I would still be alive.

Verse 1

I know, i know i couldn't

do more than i did but to

fade me out is more then i

can take.

Verse 2

When you say it

doesn't matter, deep inside of

me there's a turnabout but i

swear deep enough i want it clear.

Verse 3

And the time has passed you've got nothin

more to say, even if you say you're

sorry, i wouldn't mind, cause to me

you'll still be unchanged.

Bridge

So don't act like you know me

don't act like you want me

cause my troubles already

begins to draft.

Chorus

I knew you couldn't change

I knew it right away

I thought i missjudged you

My dreams of you just fade away

You're still unchanged and girls

like that don't act like that.

Verse 4

I believe my destany has changed

I couriged myself not to stay,

forgive or sacrifise anything

for you, hou hou oo.

Bridge

So don't act like you know me

don't act like you want me

cause my troubles already

begins to draft.

Chorus

I knew you couldn't change

I knew it right away

I thought i missjudged you

My dreams of you just fade away

You're still unchanged and girls

like that don't act like that.

Verse 5

Now there's nothin more to give

all my troubles faded away when

you dissapeared for good.

Your atmosphere was unforgivable

and i almost got untrigable oh ho ho.

Bridge

So don't act like you know me

don't act like you want me

cause my troubles already

begins to draft.

Chorus

I knew you couldn't change

I knew it right away

I hope i'd missjudged you

My dreams of you just fade away

You're still unchanged and girls

like that don't act like that.
