[00:01.00](This song deals with NF's mother's addiction to popping pills and the neglect he felt throughout his life)
[00:05.47](He feels that she chose the pills over her own kids and therefore, and that she left him standing in the dust)
[00:09.60]
[00:10.25]How could you leave us so unexpected?
[00:16.70]We were waiting, we were waiting
[00:22.45]For you but you just left us
[00:27.88]We needed you, I needed you
[00:33.36]
[00:34.22]Yo, I don't know what it's like to be addicted to pills
[00:37.05]But I do know what it's like to be a witness it kills
[00:39.80]Mama told me she love me, I'm thinking this isn't real
[00:42.66]I think of you when I get a whiff of that cigarette smell, yeah
[00:46.55]Welcome to the bottom of hell
[00:48.40]They say pain is a prison, let me out of my cell
[00:51.20]You say you proud of me, but you don't know me that well
[00:54.00]Sit in my room, tears running down my face and I yell
[00:57.00]Into my pillowcases, you say you coming to get us
[00:59.78]Then call 'em a minute later just to tell us you not, I'm humiliated
[01:03.40]I'm in a room with a parent that I don't barely know
[01:05.99]Some lady in the corner watching us, while she taking notes
[01:09.00]I don't get it mom, don't you want to watch your babies grow?
[01:11.77]I guess that pills are more important, all you have to say is no
[01:14.82]But you won't do it will you? You gon' keep popping 'til those pills kill you
[01:18.45]I know you gone but I can still feel you
[01:20.69]
[01:24.45]Why would you leave us?
[01:26.66]Why would you leave us?
[01:30.35]How could you leave us here?
[01:34.65]How would you leave us?
[01:36.55]Why would you leave us?
[01:38.55]Oh, Hey...
[01:44.88]
[01:45.50]I got this picture in my room and it kills me
[01:48.07]But I don't need a picture of my mom, I need the real thing
[01:51.30]Now a relationship is something we won't ever have
[01:53.88]Why do I feel like I lost something that I never had?
[01:57.00]You shoulda been there when I graduated
[01:59.00]Told me you love me and congratulations
[02:01.20]Instead you left us at the window waiting
[02:03.53]Where you at mom? We're too young to understand where you at huh?
[02:07.55]Yeah, I know those drugs got you held captive
[02:10.75]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 laughing
[02:16.35]What you don't realise and what you not grasping
[02:19.10]That I was nothing but a kid who couldn't understand
[02:22.00]I ain't gon' say that I forgive you cause it hasn't happened
[02:24.80]I thought that maybe I feel better as time passes
[02:27.95]If you really cared for me, then where you at then?
[02:31.26]
[02:33.24]Why would you leave us?
[02:35.30]Why would you leave us?
[02:38.95]How could you leave us here?

[02:52.88]
[02:53.77]Our last conversation, you and I were sat in the living room
[02:56.78]Talking 'bout my music and I brought you something to listen to
[02:59.93]You started crying, telling me this isn't you
[03:02.59]Couple weeks later, guess you were singing a different tune
[03:05.45]You took them pills for the last time, didn't you?
[03:08.15]They took you from us once, guess they came back to finish you
[03:11.25]Crying my eyes out in the studio is difficult
[03:13.92]Music is the only place that I can go to speak to you
[03:16.55]It took everything inside of me to not scream at your funeral
[03:19.57]Sitting in my chair, that person talking was pitiful
[03:22.10]I wish you were here mama but every time I picture you
[03:25.33]All I feel is pain, I hate the way I remember you
[03:27.99]They found you on the floor, I could tell that you felt hallow
[03:30.99]Gave everything you had plus your life to them pill bottles
[03:33.70]You gave everything you had plus your life to them pill bottles
[03:36.75]Don't know if you hear me or not, but if you still watching ma

[04:10.00](Sobbing) Sometimes I think about like
[04:13.66]Sometimes I think about things like, you know
[04:18.20]When I have kids, you won't be there, you know?
[04:26.85]You won't be there for any of that
[04:39.80]I'll never get to see you again
[04:43.99]Sometimes I wish I would have just called you
[04:47.15]I wish I would have just picked up the phone, wish you were here
[04:52.17]I mean you should of been there for us
[04:55.00]You should have been here, those pills got you, right?
