Family Portrait
Mama please stop cryin'
I can't
stand the sound
Your pain is painful and it's
Tearing me
down
I hear glasses breaking
As I sit up
in my bed
I told God you didn't 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 ain't easy, growin' up in
WW3
Never knowin' what love could be
You'll see, I don't want
love to destroy me
Like it has done my family
Chorus:
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
Daddy please stop yelling
I can't
stand the sound
Make mama stop cryin'
'Cause I need you
around
My mama she loves you
No matter what she says is
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)
Don't wanna go back to that
place
But don't have no choice, no way
It ain't easy, growin' up in
WW3
Never knowin' what love could be
But I've seen, I don't
want love to destroy me
Like it has done my family
Chorus:
In our family portrait
We look
pretty happy
Let's play pretend, let's act like it
Comes
naturally
I don't wanna have to split the holidays I don't want
two addresses
I don't want a stepbrother anyway
And I don't
want my mom to have to change her last name!
Mama'll be nicer
I'll be so much
better
I'll tell my brother
I won't spill the milk at
dinner
I'll be so much better
I'll do everything right
I'll
be your little girl forever
I'll go to sleep at night
Daddy don't leave... daddy don't
leave
