“How Could You Leave Us”  by NF

 

How could you leave us, so unexpected?
We were waiting, we waited,
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 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 wanna 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 could 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 should’ve 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 them 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 it,
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, sat in the living room,
Talking ’bout my music, and I brought you some’ to listen to,
You started crying, telling me this isn’t you,
A 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, I 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, not to 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 hollow,
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, why?

 

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!

 

(”’Sometimes I think like,
Sometimes I think about things like,
When I’d have kids,
When I …
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 could have just picked up the phone,
I wish you were here,
You should have been there for us,
You should have been here,
‘Pills got you, right?
Them pills got you, right?’
I wish you were here!”’)
