Too Drunk To Drive

Rain soaks me as i watch them walk away, heads hung, tears flowing.
They can't change my fate anymore than i can move.
I try to cry out and tell them it wasn't my fault, i swear i didn't do anything wrong.
But i can't and i will never get the chance.
I never saw it coming, now these eyes will never see again.
The second the cars collided is the second my life ended.
The minute i saw the car swerving, driving way too fast, was the last minute i 
spent on this earth.
The hour that boy started drinking, the countdown on my life began.
I know he didn't intend to kill me or hurt my family as he did.
He didn't know those beers, the answer to his problems, would be the end of my 
life.
He didn't think he was too drunk to drive.

You Showed Me the Way(Evan)

Love, you go through life thinking you understand it, thinking you know what it is.
Then love, the real thing, hits you, and it's greater than anything ever felt before.
You look at him and you're taken over mind, body, and soul.
All those old cliches you think are so stupid, happen to you.
When he kisses you or merely looks at you, flashing that little grin on his face, 
your knees go weak.
His touch,even the slightest brush of his fingertips, makes your skin tingle.
He becomes your best friend and you know you can't live without him.
You never stop thinking of him no matter where you are or what you're doing.
You think you know what love is but you don't.
Not until you find him.

You Cried

When i saw you cry, I changed.
I had always placed you high up on a pedestal.
To me you were larger than life.
You protected me.
You were my hero.
I wanted to be just like you.
When i saw you cry, I was confused.
I thought you loved each other.
How come he said mean things?
I love you both so much.
Why don't you love each other?
Is it me?
Did I do something wrong?
When I saw you cry, I realized you were human.
You couldn't make all the bad things go away.
You hurt, too.
When I saw you cry, I wanted to make your tears go away.
To see you smile again.
To make you laugh.
When I saw you cry, i changed.
I grew up.
No longer your baby, when i saw you cry.
