I remember the last time I looked at you
Your face gory and twisted, trapped under steel
I tried to find the words to apologize
But my tongue was stuck, nothing came out
I wanted to take the accident back
I wish it was me instead of you
I watched as you slipped away from me
As easily as water flowing through my hand
I yelled for help, but my feeble voice did not bring help
No one came, but it was too late anyways
You died right there and then, and took my heart with you
Now listen to what I'm saying to you
I'm sorry I was stupid, I'm sorry you died
I never should have driven after I drank
It should have been me who died
