How could you leave so unexpected?
We waited, we waited For you, but you just left us
We needed you, I needed you
Yo, I don't know what it's like to be addicted to pills
But I do know what it's like to be a witness, it kills
Mama told me she loved me, I'm thinkin' this isn't real
I think of you when I get a whiff of that cigarette smell, yeah
Welcome to the bottom of hell They say pain is a prison, let me out of my cell
You say you proud of me, but you don't know
me that well Sit in my room, tears running down my face
and I yell Into my pillowcases, you say you coming to
get us Then call 'em a minute later just to tell
us you not, I'm humiliated I'm in a room with a parent that I don't barely
know Some lady in the corner watching us while
she's taking notes I don't get it mom, don't you want to watch
your babies grow?
I guess pills are more important, all you have to say is "no"
But you won't do it, will you?
You gon' keep popping, 'til those pills kill you
I know you're gone, but I can still feel you
Why would you leave us?
Why would you leave us?
How could you leave us here?
How could you leave us?
Why would you leave us?
Oh
Hey
I got this picture in my room and it kills me
But I don't need a picture of my mom, I need the real thing
Now a relationship is something we won't ever have, but why do I feel like I lost something
that I never had?
You should have been there when I graduated Told me you loved me and congratulations,
instead you left us at the window waitin' Where you at mom?
We're too young to understand, where you at, huh?
Yeah, I know them drugs have got you held captive
I can see it in your eyes, they got your mind captured
Some say it's fun to get the high, but I am not laughin'
And what you don't realize and what you not graspin'
That I was nothing but a kid, who couldn't understand it
I ain't gon' say that I forgive you 'cause it hasn't happened
I thought that maybe I'd feel better as time passes
If you really cared for me, then where you at then?
Why would you leave us?
Why would you leave us?
How could you leave us here?
How could you leave us?
Why would you leave us?
Oh
Hey
Our last conversation, you and I sat in the
living room Talkin' 'bout my music and I brought you some
to listen to You started cryin', telling me "this isn't
you" A couple weeks later, guess you were singin'
a different tune You took them pills for the last time, didn't
you?
They took you from us once, I guess they came back to finish you
Cryin' my eyes out in the studio is difficult Music is the only place that I can go to speak
to you It took everything inside of me, not to scream
at your funeral Sittin' in my chair, that person talkin' was
pitiful I wish you were here, mama, but every time
I picture you All I feel is pain, I hate the way I remember
you They found you on the floor, I could tell
you felt hollow Gave everything you had, plus your life to
them pill bottles You gave everything you had, plus your life
to them pill bottles Don't know if you hear me or not, but if you're
still watching, ma
Why would you leave us?
Why would you leave us?
How could you leave us here?
How could you leave us?
Why would you leave us?
Oh
Hey
Sometimes I think about like Sometimes I think about things like,
you know
When I'd have kids, I'm like You won't be there, you know?
You won't be there for any of that
And I'll never get to see you again
Sometimes I wish I would've just called you I wish I would have just picked up the phone
Wish you were here I mean you should of been there for us
You should have been here!
Them pills got you, right?
Them pills got you, right?
I wish you were hereā¦
