[Fm] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ How could you leave so _ [A#m] unexpected?
_ We [Fm] waited, we [F#] waited For you, but you just [A#m] left us
We [Fm] needed you, I [F#] needed you _
Yo I don't know what it's like to be addicted to pills
[A#m] But I do know what it's like to be a witness to kids
[Fm] Mama told me she loved me I'm thinking this isn't real
[F#] I think of you when I get wet for that cigarette smell
Yeah, welcome to the bottom of hell They [A#m] say pain is a prison
Let me out of my cell You [Fm] say you proud of me
But you don't know me that well [F#] Sitting in my room, tears running down my face
And I yell into my pillowcases Say you coming to get us
Then [A#m] call a minute later Just to tell us you're not
I'm [Fm] humiliated I'm in a room with a parent
That I don't really [F#] know Some lady in the corner watching us
While she's taking notes I don't get it, mom
Don't you wanna watch your babies [A#m] grow?
I guess pills are more important
All you have to say [G#] is no [F] But you won't do it, will you?
You gon' keep mopping [F#] till them pills kill you I know you're gone, but I can still feel you
_ _ _ _ Why would you [A#m] leave us?
Why would you leave us?
[Fm] _ How could you [F#] leave us?
How _ _ could you leave us?
Why [A#m] would you _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ leave [F#] us?
I got this picture in my room and it kills me
But I [A#m] don't need a picture of my mom I need the real thing
[Fm] Now our relationship is something we won't ever have
But why [F#] do I feel like I lost something that I never had?
You should've been there when I graduated Told me you loved [A#m] me in congratulations
Instead you left us at the window [Fm] waiting Where you at, mom?
What you young [F#] to understand?
Where you at, huh?
Yeah, I know them drugs, they got you out, Captain I can see [A#m] it in your eyes, they got your mind captured
Some say it's fun [Fm] to get the eye, but I am not laughing
And what you [F#] don't realize and what you're not grasping
That I was nothing but a kid who couldn't understand it
I ain't gon' say [A#m] that I forgive you, cause it hasn't happened
I thought that maybe [Fm] I'd feel better as time passes
If you [F#] really cared for me the way you acting
_ _ Why would you [A#m] leave us?
Why would you leave us?
[Fm] _ How could you [F#] leave us?
How _ could you leave us?
Why [A#m] would you leave us?
Oh, _ [Fm] _ _ _ [F#] uh
_ Our last conversation, you and I sat in the living room
Talking [A#m] about my music and I brought you something to listen to
[Fm] You started crying, telling me this [C#] isn't you
A [F#] couple weeks later, guess you was singing a different tune
You took them pills for the last time, didn't you?
They took [A#m] you from us once, I guess they came back to finish you
[Fm] Crying my eyes out in the studio is difficult Music [F#] is the only place that I can go to speak to you
It took everything inside of me not to scream at your funeral
[A#m] Sitting in my chair, that person talking was pitiful
I wish [Fm] you were here, mama, but every time I picture you
All I [F#] feel is pain, I hate the way I remember you
They found you on the floor, I could tell you felt hollow
Gave [A#m] everything you had, plus your life to them pill bottles
You gave [Fm] everything you had, plus your life to them pill bottles
Don't know [F#] if you hear me or not, but if you're still watching, mwah!
Why would you [A#m] leave us?
Why would you leave us?
[Fm] _ How could you [F#] leave us?
