Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[F][Am][Em][F]

[Chorus 1]
How could you [F]leave so unex[Am]pected?
We were [Em]waiting, we were [F]waiting
For you but you just [Am]left us
We nee[Em]ded you, I nee[F]ded you

[Verse 1]
Yo, [F]I don't know what it's like
to be addicted to pills
But [Am]I do know what it's like
to be a witness it kills
Mama told [Em]me she love me,
I'm thinking this isn't real
I think of [F]you when I get a whiff
of that cigarette smell, yeah
[F]Welcome to the bottom of hell
They say [Am]pain is a prison,
let me out of my cell
You say you [Em]proud of me,
but you don't know me that well
Sit in my [F]room,
tears running down my face and I yell
Into my [F]pillowcases,
you say you coming to get us
Then call 'em a [Am]minute later
just to tell us you not, I'm humiliated
[Em]I'm in a room
with a parent that I don't barely know
[F]Some lady in the corner watching us,
while she taking notes
[F]I don't get it mom,
don't you want to watch your babies grow?
[Am]I guess that pills are more important,
all you have to say is no
[Em]But you won't do it will you?
You gon' keep popping 'til those [F]pills kill you

[Chorus 2]
I know you gone but I can still feel you
[F]Why would you leave us?
[Am]Why would you leave us
[Em]How could you leave us here?[F]
How could you leave us?
Why would you [Am]leave us?
[Em]Oh, [F]Hey

[Verse 2]
I got this [F]picture in my room and it kills me
But I don't need a [Am]picture of my mom,
I need the real thing
Now a re[Em]lationship
is something we won't ever have
Why do I feel [F]like I lost
something that I never had?
You shoulda been there when I graduated
Told me you love me and con[Am]gratulations
Instead you left us at the window waiting
[Em]Where you at mom?
We're too young to under[F]stand
where you at huh?
Yeah, I know those drugs got you held captive
I can see it in your [Am]eyes,
they got your mind captured
Some say it's fun to get the [Em]high
but I am not laughing
What you don't rea[F]lise
and what you not grasping
That I was nothing
but a kid who couldn't understand
I ain't gon' say that I for[Am]give you
cause it hasn't happened
I thought that maybe
I [Em]feel better as time passes
If you really [F]cared

[Chorus 3]
for me, then where you at then?
[F]Why would you leave us?
[Am]Why would you leave us
[Em]How could you leave us here?[F]
How could you leave us?
Why would you [Am]leave us?
[Em]Oh, [F]Hey

[Verse 3]
Our last conver[F]sation,
you and I sat in the living room
Talking 'bout my [Am]music
and I brought you something to listen to
You started [Em]crying, telling me this isn't you
Couple weeks [F]later,
guess you were singing a different tune
You took them pills
for the last time, didn't you?
They took you from us [Am]once,
guess they came back to finish you
Crying my [Em]eyes out in the studio is difficult
Music is the [F]only place
that I can go to speak to you
It took everything
inside of me to not scream at your funeral
Sitting in my [Am]chair,
that person talking was pitiful
I wish you were [Em]here mama
but every time I picture you
All I feel is [F]pain,
I hate the way I remember you
They found you on the floor,
I could tell that you felt hollow
Gave everything you [Am]had
plus your life to them pill bottles
You gave everything you [Em]had
plus your life to them pill bottles
Don't know if you hear [F]me or not,

[Chorus 4]
but if you still watching why
[F]Why would you leave us?
[Am]Why would you leave us
[Em]How could you leave us here?[F]
How could you leave us?
Why would you [Am]leave us?
[Em]Oh, [F]Hey

[Outro 1]
[F]Som[Am]etime[Em]s I think about like
[F]Sometimes I think about things like,
you [Am]know
When I'd have kids, I'm like... like
[Em]You [F]won't be there, you know?
You [Am]won't be there for any of that
[Em]And [F]I'll never get to see you [Am]again
[Em]Sometimes I wish
I would've just called [F]you
I wish I would have just picked up the phone
I wish you were here
[Am]I mean you should've been there for us
[Em]You should have been here!
[F]Them pills got you, right?!
Them [Am]pills got you, right?!
[Em]I wi[F]sh you were here
