Lyrics
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 runnin' down my face and I yell Into my pillowcases, say you comin' to get us Then call a minute later just to tell us you're not, I'm humiliated I'm in a room with a parent that I don't barely know Some lady in the corner watchin' us while she's takin' 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 poppin' 'til them 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 somethin' we won't ever have But why do I feel like I lost somethin' that I never had? You shoulda 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're not graspin' That I was nothin' 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 livin' room Talkin' 'bout my music and I brought you some to listen to You started cryin', tellin' 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 watchin', why? 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've been there for us You should have been here! Them pills got you, right?! Them pills got you, right?! I wish you were here
