when I ran off and left her
she wasn't holding a baby
she was holding a bottle
and a big grudge against me
I tried to learn from the psychiatrist
how to stay calm and minimize risk
but I should've kept all those appointments
I'm gonna need em I'm coming disjointed
when I ran off and left her
I didn't look backwards
till I was halfway to Chattanooga
on the Atlanta connector
that's when I started flashing
on the little things that she did
all her little sayings and I started to wig
I should've kept all those appointments
I'm gonna need em I'm coming disjointed
