Think before you make bad choices at what the outcome could be~
Looking at the bottle, she was overcome with fear
Just knowing it was there, so very close and near

She picked it up, and began swirling it around
Knowing if she drank it, she'd hit bottom ground

The glass appeared in her hand somehow
Trying to make a decision, what to do now

Next thing she knew, in the glass it glistened
Thinking back now, she never had listened

The liquid called, sweetly beckoning her name
Telling her to come back and play the game

She brought up the glass, to her awaiting lips
She promised to herself, it's just a few sips

Before she knew it possible, the liquor had run out
Did she really drink it all, she truly had her doubt

She thought she felt just fine, time to get herself ready
Slipping behind the wheel, her hands slightly unsteady

She managed to get there, she doesn't know how
Honking on the horn, and here they come out now

Her kids got into the car, full of laughs and chatters
They meant everything to her, they are all that matter

Her eyes are getting drowsy, her head starts spinning
Glancing up in the mirror, her kids back there grinning

She never saw the truck, or the stop sign that she ran
She tried to jerk the wheel, to do anything that she can

Metal crashing, glass breaking, a spinning, flipping car
They found the kids, their lifeless bodies not too very far

She was found also, and was just as lifeless as her babies
Before you pick that next one up, think about the maybe's
