Think Before You Drink

Feelings I cannot explain Sends chills through me everyday Like a ghost is passing through Haunting memories of you That I dream of every night Of a very deadly sight That will not let go of me I will never be set free From tears rolling down my face I live in a darkened place With no lover by my side Ever since we took that ride Hand in hand-- sharing our hearts Till a drunk tore us apart When he didn't stop on red Alcohol filled up his head Causing all my dreams to crash Fading away in a flash Why can't others stop and think Of the dangers when they drink Getting behind a deadly wheel Not caring how others feel Ripping their lives all apart Leaving them a broken heart That can't be fixed--Put back together Their happiness is lost forever
