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?
