***Warning***

May be disturbing****

D riving with my phone out, I am distracted in the car

I instantly regret it, as I leave the local bar

S creaming at the window, as I cross the center line

T ime passes in slow motion as I smash into a pine

R egret the choice I made, it's too late to take it back

A n ambulance is coming, OMG, a body bag

C razy what your mind will tell you, to justify your deeds

T ime will tell if my repentance is too late, to grow those seeds

I beg and make my promises, save me and who I hit

O ne promise I won't break again, I'm through, I'm done, I quit

N othing could prepare me for the face my momma made, when she came to claim my things, and covered me up, where I laid

heartbreak
