    (This song deals with NF's mother's addiction to popping pills and the neglect he felt throughout his life)
    (He feels that she chose the pills over her own kids and therefore, and that she left him standing in the dust)

    How could you leave us so unexpected?
    We were waiting, we were waiting
    For you but you just left us
    We needed you, I needed you

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

    Why would you leave us?
    Why would you leave us?
    How could you leave us here?
    How would you leave us?
    Why would you leave us?
    Oh, Hey...

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

    Why would you leave us?
    Why would you leave us?
    How could you leave us here?
    How could you leave us? Why would you leave us?
    Oh, Hey

    Our last conversation, you and I were sat in the living room
    Talking 'bout my music and I brought you something to listen to
    You started crying, telling me this isn't you
    Couple weeks later, guess you were singing a different tune
    You took them pills for the last time, didn't you?
    They took you from us once, guess they came back to finish you
    Crying my eyes out in the studio is difficult
    Music is the 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 chair, that person talking was pitiful
    I wish you were here mama but every time I picture you
    All I feel is pain, I hate the way I remember you
    They found you on the floor, I could tell that you felt hallow
    Gave everything you had plus your life to them pill bottles
    You gave everything you had plus your life to them pill bottles
    Don't know if you hear me or not, but if you still watching ma

    Why would you leave us?
    Why would you leave us?
    How could you leave us here?
    How would you leave us?
    Why would you leave us?
    Oh, Hey...

    (Sobbing) Sometimes I think about like
    Sometimes I think about things like, you know
    When I have kids, you won't be there, you know?
    You won't be there for any of that
    I'll never get to see you again
    Sometimes I wish I would have just called you
    I wish I would have just picked up the phone, wish you were here
    I mean you should of been there for us
    You should have been here, those pills got you, right?
    Them pills got you, right?
    I wish you were here
