[00:10.65] How could you leave so unexpected?

[00:16.15] We waited, we waited

[00:22.40] For you, but you just left us

[00:27.40] We needed you, I needed you

[00:33.65] Yo, I don't know what it's like to be addicted to pills

[00:36.40] But I do know what it's like to be a witness, it kills

[00:39.40] Mama told me she loved me, I'm thinkin' this isn't real

[00:42.16] I think of you when I get a whiff of that cigarette smell,

[00:44.90] yeah Welcome to the bottom of hell

[00:47.91] They say pain is a prison, let me out of my cell

[00:50.91] You say you proud of me,

[00:52.16] but you don't know me that well

[00:53.65] Sit in my room, tears runnin' down my face and I yell

[00:56.41] Into my pillowcases, say you comin' to get us

[00:59.40] Then call a minute later just to tell us you're not,

[01:01.90] I'm humiliated

[01:02.65] I'm in a room with a parent that I don't barely know

[01:05.66] Some lady in the corner watchin' us while she's takin' notes

[01:08.66] I don't get it, Mom, don't you want to watch your babies grow?

[01:11.15] I guess pills are more important, all you have to say is "no"

[01:14.16] But you won't do it, will you?

[01:15.90] You gon' keep poppin' 'til them pills kill you

[01:17.91] I know you're gone, but I can still feel you

[01:24.40] Why would you leave us? Why would you leave us?

[01:30.15] How could you leave us here?

[01:34.40] How could you leave us? Why would you leave us? Oh

[01:42.41] Hey

[01:45.41] I got this picture in my room and it kills me

[01:47.92] But I don't need a picture of my mom, I need the real thing

[01:50.66] Now a relationship is somethin' we won't ever have

[01:53.65] But why do I feel like I lost somethin' that I never had?

[01:56.65] You shoulda been there when I graduated

[01:58.66] Told me you loved me and congratulations

[02:00.65] Instead you left us at the window waitin'

[02:02.91] Where you at mom?

[02:04.15] We're too young to understand, where you at, huh?

[02:07.15] Yeah, I know them drugs have got you held captive

[02:09.90] I can see it in your eyes, they got your mind captured

[02:13.40] Some say it's fun to get the high, but I am not laughin'

[02:15.40] And what you don't realize and what you're not graspin'

[02:18.65] That I was nothin' but a kid who couldn't understand it

[02:21.40] I ain't gon' say that I forgive you 'cause it hasn't happened

[02:24.40] I thought that maybe I'd feel better as time passes

[02:27.16] If you really cared for me, then where you at then?

[02:32.66] Why would you leave us? Why would you leave us?

[02:38.67] How could you leave us here?

[02:42.91] How could you leave us? Why would you leave us? Oh

[02:50.91] Hey

[02:53.91] Our last conversation, you and I sat in the livin' room

[02:56.41] Talkin' 'bout my music and I brought you some to listen to

[02:59.40] You started cryin', tellin' me this isn't you

[03:01.90] A couple weeks later, guess you were singin' a different tune

[03:05.15] You took them pills for the last time, didn't you?

[03:07.81] They took you from us once, I guess they came back to finish you

[03:10.57] Cryin' my eyes out in the studio is difficult

[03:13.82] Music is the only place that I can go to speak to you

[03:16.32] It took everything inside of me, not to scream at your funeral

[03:18.81] Sittin' in my chair, that person talkin' was pitiful

[03:21.56] I wish you were here, mama, but every time I picture you

[03:24.83] All I feel is pain, I hate the way I remember you

[03:27.57] They found you on the floor, I could tell you felt hollow

[03:30.82] Gave everything you had,

[03:32.06] plus your life to them pill bottles

[03:33.06] You gave everything you had,

[03:34.56] plus your life to them pill bottles

[03:35.82] Don't know if you hear me or not,

[03:37.56] but if you're still watchin', why?

[03:41.06] Why would you leave us? Why would you leave us?

[03:46.81] How could you leave us here?

[03:51.56] How could you leave us? Why would you leave us? Oh

[03:58.56] Hey

[04:10.57] Sometimes I think about like...

[04:13.82] Sometimes I think about things like, you know

[04:17.32] When I'd have kids, I'm like...

[04:27.31] You won't be there, you know?

[04:28.82] You won't be there for any of that

[04:39.57] And I'll never get to see you again

[04:44.06] Sometimes I wish I would've just called you

[04:47.07] I wish I would have just picked up the phone

[04:50.06] Wish you were here

[04:52.31] I mean you should've been there for us

[04:54.81] You should have been here!

[04:57.06] Them pills got you, right?!

[05:02.83] Them pills got you, right?!

[05:08.82] I wish you were here
