I didn’t decide to drink and drive, To kill an innocent person, I thought about the value of a life, I’m not another statistic. I didn’t decide that life’s no good, That I should end my life, My family to deal with what I did, I’m not another statistic. I didn’t decide to keep my mouth shut, What happened to me was wrong, I hope from jail he’ll look and see, I’m not another statistic. I didn’t decide to wear that mask, I let it fall off my face, I set my creativity to another task, I’m not another statistic. I didn’t decide to let the pain go too far, To let it eat away at my life, I healed my heart and its scar, I’m not another statistic. I decided I’m better than this life, That people think it should be, I’m standing up for my right, I’m not another statistic.
