Mama please stop cryinŽ I canŽt stand the sound Your pain is painful and itŽs tearing me down I hear glasses breakin' As I sit up in my bed I told Dad you didnŽt mean Those nasty things you said You fight about money About me and my brother And this I come home to This is my shelter It ainŽt easy, growinŽ up in WW3 Never knowinŽ what love could be YouŽll see, I donŽt want love to destroy me Like it has done my family
Can we work it out (can we...) Can we be a family (can we...) I promise IŽll be better (I promise...) Mommy IŽll do anything (I'll do anything..) Can we work it out Can we be a family I promise IŽll be better Daddy please donŽt leave
Daddy please stop yelling I canŽt stand the sound Make mama stop cryinŽ ŽCause I need you around My mama she loves you No matter what she says it's true I know that she hurts you But remember I love you too!
I ran away today, ran from the noise Ran away (ran away...) DonŽt wanna go back to that place But donŽt have no choice, no way
It ainŽt easy, growinŽ up in WW3 Never knowinŽ what love could be But IŽve seen, I donŽt want love to destroy me Like it did my family
Can we work it out Can we be a family I promise I'll be better Mommy I'll do anything Can we work it out Can we be a family I promise I'll be better Daddy please don't leave
In our family portrait We look pretty happy LetŽs play pretend, letŽs act like it Comes naturally
I donŽt wanna have to split the holidays I donŽt want two addresses I donŽt want a stepbrother anyways And I donŽt want my mom to have to change her last name!
(In our family portrait We look pretty happy, we look pretty normal Let's go back to that In our family portrait We look pretty happy, let's play pretend Act like it goes naturally)
Mama IŽll be nicer IŽll be so much better IŽll tell my brother I wonŽt spill the milk at dinner IŽll be so much better IŽll do everything right IŽll be your little girl forever IŽll go to sleep at night Daddy donŽt leave... daddy donŽt leave
