What would happen, 
If you were to hurt someone else?
Someone healthy and loved
Someone doing the right thing
Six beers in
I'm not even drunk
Give me my keys 
It'll be alright
Until you wake up
In a hospital bed 
The only thing being said 
are dozens of questions
Was this manslaughter? Did she do it on purpose? 
This is your fault you know 
You shouldn't have been driving 
You're under aged you know
You shouldn't have been drinking 
You're lying there in pain 
The other in a morgue
You caused her family more pain in their hearts 
Than you feel on your body 
The guilt will live with you forever 
Never being able to say you're sorry
Always the one to blame
This is your fault
What was there to gain? 
A hangover? 
"Fun" times 
that you need a camera to remember? 
What if role were reversed
And it was you doing the right thing 
What if it were you being buried? 
And Your family the ones crying at YOUR grave 
You didn't ask for this
But you did 
You know drinking has consequences 
Yet you still decided to do it
Was it worth it?
