Verse 1
Yo, I (G flat major) don't know what it's like
to be addicted to pills
But I (B flat minor) do know what it's like
to be a witness it kills
Mama told (F minor) me she love me,
I'm thinking this isn't real
I think of (G flat major) you when I get a whiff
of that cigarette smell, yeah
(G flat major) Welcome to the bottom of hell
They say pain (B flat minor) is a prison,
let me out of my cell
You say you (F minor) proud of me,
but you don't know me that well
Sit in my (G flat major) room,
tears running down my face and I yell
Into my (G flat major) pillowcases,
you say you coming to get us
Then call 'em a (B flat minor) minute later
just to tell us you not, I'm humiliated
(F minor) I'm in a room
with a parent that I don't barely know
(G flat major) Some lady in the corner watching us,
while she taking notes
(G flat major) I don't get it mom,
don't you want to watch your babies grow?
(B flat minor) I guess that pills are more important,
all you have to say is no
(F minor) But you won't do it will you?
You gon' keep popping 'til those (G flat major) pills kill you
Chorus 2
I know you gone but I can still feel you
(G flat major) Why would you leave us?
(B flat minor) Why would you leave us
(F minor) How could you leave us (G flat major) here?
How could you leave us?
Why would you (B flat minor) leave us?
Oh, (F minor) Hey (G flat major)
Verse 2
I got this (G flat major) picture in my room and it kills me
But I don't need a (B flat minor) picture of my mom,
I need the real thing
Now a re (F minor) lationship
is something we won't ever have
Why do I feel (G flat major) like I lost
something that I never had?
You shoulda been there when I graduated
Told me you love me and con (B flat minor) gratulations
Instead you left us at the window waiting
(F minor) Where you at mom?
We're too young to under (G flat major) stand
where you at huh?
Yeah, I know those drugs got you held captive
I can see it in your (B flat minor) eyes,
they got your mind captured
Some say it's fun to get the (F minor) high
but I am not laughing
What you don't rea (G flat major) 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 (B flat minor) give you
cause it hasn't happened
I thought that maybe
I feel (F minor) better as time passes
If you really cared (G flat major)
Chorus 3
for me, then where you at then?
(G flat major) Why would you leave us?
(B flat minor) Why would you leave us
(F minor) How could you leave us (G flat major) here?
How could you leave us?
Why would you (B flat minor) leave us?
Oh, (F minor) Hey (G flat major)
Verse 3
Our last conver (G flat major) sation,
you and I sat in the living room
Talking 'bout my (B flat minor) music
and I brought you something to listen to
You started (F minor) crying, telling me this isn't you
Couple weeks (G flat major) later,
guess you were singing a different tune
You took them pills
for the last time, didn't you?
They took you from us (B flat minor) once,
guess they came back to finish you
Crying my (F minor) eyes out in the studio is difficult
Music is the (G flat major) 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 (B flat minor) chair,
that person talking was pitiful
I wish you were here (F minor) mama
but every time I picture you
All I feel is (G flat major) pain,
I hate the way I remember you
They found you on the floor,
I could tell that you felt hollow
Gave everything you (B flat minor) had
plus your life to them pill bottles
You gave everything you (F minor) had
plus your life to them pill bottles
Don't know if you hear (G flat major) me or not,
Chorus 4
but if you still watching why
(G flat major) Why would you leave us?
(B flat minor) Why would you leave us
(F minor) How could you leave us (G flat major) here?
How could you leave us?
Why would you (B flat minor) leave us?
Oh, (F minor) Hey (G flat major)
Outro 1
(G flat major) (B flat minor) (F minor) Sometimes I think about like
(G flat major) Sometimes I think about things like,
you (B flat minor) know
When I'd have kids, I'm like... like
(F minor) (G flat major) You won't be there, you know?
You (B flat minor) won't be there for any of that
(F minor) (G flat major) And I'll never get to (B flat minor) see you again
(F minor) Sometimes I wish
I would've just called (G flat major) you
I wish I would have just picked up the phone
I wish you were here
(B flat minor) I mean you should've been there for us
(F minor) You should have been here!
(G flat major) Them pills got you, right?!
Them pills (B flat minor) got you, right?!
(F minor) (G flat major) I wish you were here
