The Moment Of Truth In Your Lies
so i put on my make up
put a smile on my face
and if anyone asks
everything is okay...
when everything feels like the movies
yeah you bleed just to know youre alive
that warm night
--sarah woo
i was invited to a party
a few road across town
i thought id meet my friends there
but they were not around
so i hopped into my beat up car
ready for an 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 id drive safe
and everything would be alright
i arrived at the location
and accepted a small drink
but i didnt really want it
but i didnt stop to think
soon as i was gulping cocktails
feeling lighter with each sip
and i felt so free, invincible
as i swallowed the last drip
the room was spinning freely
as i danced across the floor
and i wondered why i hadnt 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 gonna break
i stumbled across the gardens
and unlocked my beat up car
started up the engine
headed across town once more
but something tragic happened
i didnt see the light
i didnt see the people either
crossing that warm night
as i slid across the pavement
i knew my time had come
my head just kept on spinning
all this for just some fun
the next moments were quite hazy
as i lay mangled in the car
pain shooting through my body
never thought itd 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 that i hit
and knew that they were dead
i cried so hard on that warm night
as i floated through the sky
knowing that it was my fault
and i never said goodbye
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 my coffin
because i lost my precious life
i see my mothers upset face
her eyes so filled with tears
"this wasnt suppose to happen
this is exactly what i had feared"
i was just a normal teen
who had too much to drink
i had a boyfriend and did well in school
but that night i didnt think
so the next time youre invited
to a party with your friends
please remember this could be
the night when it could end
i learned this the hard way
and made a terrible mistake
so please dont do what 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 an actress
but i cant becasue im dead
it happened so quickly
didnt even get to fight
didnt know how fast my life could end
ill always remember that warm night
