Original Lyrics
Translation in Swedish
intro
How could you leave us so unexpected?
Miten voisit jättää meidät niin aavistamatta
We waited, we waited
Vi väntade, vi väntade
For you but you just left us
För dig men du har precis lämnat oss
We needed you, I needed you
Me tarvitisimme sinua, Minä tarvitsin sinua
verse
Yo, I don′t know what it's like to be addicted to pills
Pryf hfgutvhiy uy6 ggd jjutt juy
But I do know what it′s like to be a witness, it kills
Men jag vet hur det är att vara ett vittne, det dödar
Mama told me she love me, I'm thinking this isn't real
Äiti kertoi rakastavansa minua, ajattelen ettei tämä ole totta
I think of you when I get a whiff of that cigarette smell, yeah
Ajattelen sinua, kun nenään tuulahtaa tupakan haju
Welcome to the bottom of hell
Tervetuloa helvetin alle
They say pain is a prison, let me out of my cell
He sanovat kivun olevan lahja, päästä minut ulos solustani
You say you proud of me, but you don′t know me that well
Sanot olevasi ylpeä minusta, muttet tunne minua niin hyvin
Sit in my room, tears running down my face and I yell
Istun huoneessani, kyyneleet valuvat kasvoillani ja huudan
Into my pillowcases, say you coming to get us
Tyynyihini, sanot tulevasti hakemaan meidät
Then call a minute later just to tell us you not, I′m humiliated
Sitten soitat minuutin päästä, ettet tulekkaan, olen nöyryytetty
I'm in a room with a parent that I barely know
Olen huoneessa vanhemman kanssa, jota tuskin tunnen
Some lady in the corner watching us, while she taking notes
Joku nainen nurkassa katsomassa meitä samalla kun hän tekee muistiinpanoja
I don′t get it mom, don't you want to watch your babies grow?
En ymmärrä sitä äiti, etkö halua nähdä vauvojesi kasvavan?
I guess pills are more important, all you have to say is "no"
Luulen pillereiden olevan paljon tärkeämpiä, kaikki mitä sinulla on sanottavana on ei
But you won′t do it, will you? You gon' keep popping ′til those pills kill you
Muttet tee sitä, ethän? Sinä vetelet kunnes noi pillerit tappavat sinut
I know you gone but I can still feel you
Jag vet att du är borta men jag kan fortfarande känna dig
chorus
Why would you leave us?
Varför skulle du lämna oss?
Why would you leave us?
Varför skulle du lämna oss?
How could you leave us here?
Miten voisit jättää meidät tänne?
How could you leave us?
Hur kunde du lämna oss?
Why would you leave us? Oh
Varför skulle du lämna oss? Åh
Hey
Hei
verse
I got this picture in my room and it kills me
Minulla on tämä kuva huoneessani ja se tappaa minut
But I don't need a picture of my mom, I need the real thing
Mutten tarvitse kuvaa äidistäni, tarvitsen todellisen henkilön
Now a relationship is something we won't ever have
Nu är ett förhållande något vi aldrig kommer att ha
Why do I feel like I lost something that I never had?
Miksi minusta tuntuu, että menetin jotain, mitä minulla ei ikinä ollut?
You shoulda been there when I graduated
Du skulle ha varit där när jag tog studenten
Told me you love me and congratulations
Kertoa rakastavasi minua ja onneksi olkoon
Instead you left us at the window waiting
Sen sijaan jätit meidät ikkunaan odottamaan
Where you at mom? We′re too young to understand, where you at huh?
Var är du hos mamma? Vi är för unga för att förstå, var är du va?
Yeah, I know them drugs got you held captive
Yeah, tiedän, että noi huumeet ottivat sinut vangiksi
I can see it in your eyes, they got your mind captured
Näen sen silmistäsi, he vangitsivat sinut
Some say it′s fun to get the high but I am not laughing
Vissa säger att det är roligt att bli hög men jag skrattar inte
And what you don't realise and what you not grasping
Mitä et käsitä ja mitä et ymmärrä
That I was nothing but a kid who couldn′t understand
Etten ollut muuta kuin lapsi joka ei voisi ymmärtää
I ain't gon′ say that I forgive you 'cause it hasn′t happened
En aioa sanoa että annan anteeksi koska se ei ikinä tapahtunut
I thought that maybe I feel better as time passes
Luulin, että voisin paremmin ajan kuluessa
If you really cared for me, then where you at then?
Jos oikeasti välitit minusta, niin missä olet?
chorus
Why would you leave us?
Varför skulle du lämna oss?
Why would you leave us?
Varför skulle du lämna oss?
How could you leave us here?
Miten voisit jättää meidät tänne?
How would you leave us?
Hur skulle du lämna oss?
Why would you leave us? Oh
Varför skulle du lämna oss? Åh
Hey
Hei
verse
Our last conversation, you and I sat in the living room
Viimeinen keskustelumme, istuit olohuoneessa
Talking 'bout my music and I brought you something to listen to
Puhuen musiikistani ja toin sinulle jotain kuunneltavaksi
You started crying, telling me this isn't you
Aloit itkemään kertoen ettei tämä ole sinä
A couple weeks later, guess you were singing a different tune
Pari viikkoa myöhemmin, lauloit eri sävyllä
You took them pills for the last time, didn′t you?
Otit pillerit viimeistä kertaan, eikö niin?
They took you from us once, guess they came back to finish you
He ottivat sinut meiltä kerran, luultavasti palasivat viimeistelemään sinut
Crying my eyes out in the studio is difficult
Itkien silmäni ulos studiossa on vaikeaa
Music is the only place that I can go to speak to you
Musiikki on ainoa paikka, misdä voin tulla puhumaan sinulle
It took me everything inside of me to not scream at your funeral
Otti kaikkeni etten alkanut huutaa hautajaisissasi
Sitting in my chair, that person talking was pitiful
Istun tulissani, henkilö puhumassa oli säälittävä
I wish you were here mama but every time I picture you
Jag önskar att du var här mamma men varje gång jag föreställer mig dig
All I feel is pain, I hate the way I remember you
Tunnen vain kipua, vihaan miten muistan sinut
They found you on the floor, I could tell that you felt hollow
He löysivät sinut lattialta, voisin sanoa että sinä tunsit pyhän
Gave everything you had plus your life to them pill bottles
Annoit kaiken plus sinun elämäsi pilleripurkeille
You gave everything you had plus your life to them pill bottles
Annoit kaiken plus sinun elämäsi pilleripurkeille
Don′t know if you hear me or not, but if you still watching, why?
Vet inte om du hör mig eller inte, men om du fortfarande tittar, varför?
chorus
Why would you leave us?
Varför skulle du lämna oss?
Why would you leave us?
Varför skulle du lämna oss?
How could you leave us here?
Miten voisit jättää meidät tänne?
How would you leave us?
Hur skulle du lämna oss?
Why would you leave us? Oh
Varför skulle du lämna oss? Åh
Hey
Hei
outro
Sometimes I think about like
Ibland tänker jag på typ
Sometimes I think about things like, you know
Ibland tänker jag på saker som, du vet
When I have kids, I'm like
När jag har barn är jag som
You won′t be there, you know?
Du kommer inte att vara där, vet du?
You won't be there for any of that
Du kommer inte att vara där för något av det
And I′ll never get to see you again
Och jag kommer aldrig att få träffa dig igen
Sometimes I wish I would've just called you
Ibland önskar jag att jag bara hade ringt dig
I wish I would′ve just picked up the phone, wish you were here
Jag önskar att jag bara hade tagit luren, önskar att du var här
I mean you should've been there for us, you should have been here
Jag menar du borde ha varit där för oss, du borde ha varit här
Them pills got you, right?
Dessa piller fick dig, eller hur?
Them pills got you, right?
Dessa piller fick dig, eller hur?
I wish you were here
Jag önskar att du var här
