"Ode to Her" by Aleyes

(Hook)
Why now (why now)
Did you have to leave us?
I’m waiting for the day that we’ll be meeting again
Yea we’re meeting again, fasho
I said a-why now (why now)
Why can’t I see ya?
Yo, my days are turning gray since you’ve ceased to exist
Yea I’m needin' and missing you, whoa

(Hook)
I was a kid, didn’t really know what was goin’ on
But now I understand, thus, I wrote a song
And I can’t come to grips with the fact that you’re gone
And I just can’t run from this by packin’ a bong
Cause I’m hurt, confused how you went down like this
A Southside chick, so beautiful and proud right when
Those brown eyes glint, just like the house lights on Christmas
These reoccurring thoughts are downright persistent
Yea they plague me, the pain is runnin deep in the bone
I’m sleepin alone just waitin for the ring of a phone
I reason if only I just had one more day
Or one more hug, then maybe joy would come my way
I want to say you’re son is done soiling diapers
He just wishes that your choices were wiser
Desiring a mother, and weeping every hour of the day
While his brother’s leaving flowers at your grave, so I say

(Hook)
Why now (why now)
Did you have to leave us?
I’m waiting for the day that we’ll be meeting again
Yea we’re meeting again, fasho
I said a-why now (why now)
Why can’t I see ya?
Yo, my days are turning gray since you’ve ceased to exist
Yea I’m needin' and missing you, whoa

(Verse 2)
My heart is heavy and unbalanced so I’m pourin' it out
But by this sec you’re probably asking who this story’s about
Born in my town, so you could say a family friend
Every action taken was to make her tragedies end
The abuse in her marriage had left her fleeing for peace
So it was truly apparent that she just needed relief
She reasoned if she, if she could find the quickest escape
Then she would rid of the shame and then diminish the pains
Pill-popped, passed out, then could feel no touch
Still, stopped, back down, it would spill her blood
The chills run up her spine, yea, the thrill just won
That pill she’d done had proved to be one pill too much
Because she’s gone, yea a comatose from overdose
No hope, her soul is stone and cold, pulse just showed a frozen rope
So hold em close, timeless is this motto of choice
And if you need a little guidance then just follow my voice

(Hook)
Why now (why now)
Did you have to leave us?
I’m waiting for the day that we’ll be meeting again
Yea we’re meeting again, fasho
I said a-why now (why now)
Why can’t I see ya?
Yo, my days are turning gray since you’ve ceased to exist
Yea I’m needin' and missing you, whoa
