Family

Mama please stop cryin'
I can't stand the sound
Your pain and tears are painful
and it's tearin' me down
I hear glasses breaking
As I sit up in my bed
I told dad you didn't mean
Those nasty things you said
You fight about money
'bout me and my brother
And this I come home to
This is my shelter
It ain't easy, growin' up in World War 3
Never knowin' what love could be
You'll see, I don't want love to destroy me
Like it has done 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
Daddy please stop yellin'
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 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)
Don't wanna go back to that place
But don't have no choice, no way
It ain't easy, growin' up in World War 3
Never knowin' what love could be
But I've seen, I don't 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
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 anyways
And I don't 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
Comes naturally
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
Comes naturally

In our family portrait
We look pretty happy
We look pretty normal
let's go back to that
Daddy don't leave... daddy don't leave
Daddy don't leave... daddy don't leave
Daddy don't leave... daddy don't leave
Turn around please
Daddy don't leave... daddy don't leave
Remember the night you left
You took my shining star
Daddy don't leave... daddy don't leave
Daddy don't leave...
Mom l'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
