_ _ _ _ [A#m] _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ How could you leave so _ [A#m] unexpected? _ _
[Fm] We 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 [Fm] isn't real
[F#] I think of you when I get [F#] whiff of that cigarette smell, yeah
Welcome to the bottom of hell, [A#m] they say pain is a prison
Let me out of my cell, [Fm] you say you proud of me
But you don't know [F] me that well
[F#] Sitting in my room, tears running down my face
And I yell into my pillowcases
Say you coming to get it, [A#m] then 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 [F#] really 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 [A#m] babies grow?
I guess pills are more important, all you left to say [G#] is no
[F] But you won't forewill you
You gon' keep [F#] mopping till them pills kill you
I know you're gone, but I can still feel you

[F#] _ _ 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 a 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 and congratulations
Instead you left us at the window [Fm] waiting
Where you at, mom?
We're too young [F#] to understand
Where you at, huh?
Yeah, I know them drugs that 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 high, 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, then where you at then?

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 isn't true
Couple [F#] weeks later, guess you were 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 you [Fm] 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 can 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 still watching, why?
Why would you [A#m] leave us?

[F#] _ _ _ _ You won't be there, you know
[A#m] You won't be there for any of that
_ [Fm] _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ I'll [A#m] never get to see you again
_ _ [Fm] _ Sometimes I wish I would've just [F#] called you
I wish I would've just picked up the phone
I wish you were here
