Mama please stop cryin'
I can't stand the sound
Your pain is painful and it's
Tearing me down
I hear glasses breakin'
As I sit up in my bed
I told God 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 yelling (stop)
I can't stand the sound (can't stand the sound)
Make mama stop cryin'
'Cause I need you around (yeah yeah yeah)
My mama she loves you (I know it)
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 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 work it)
Can we be a family
I promise I'll be better (I promise)
Mommy I'll do anything (Anything to keep you back)
Can we work it out
Can we be a family
I promise I'll be better (I promise I promise)
Daddy please don't leave
In our family portrait (In our family portrait)
We look pretty happy (We look pretty happy)
Let's play pretend, let's act like it
Comes naturally
I don't wanna have to split the holidays (no no)
I don't want two addresses (no no)
I don't want a stepbrother anyway
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
Lets go back to that
In our family portrait
We look pretty happy
Lets play pretend, act like it
Goes naturally
In our family portrait (Can we work it out)
We look pretty happy (Can we be a family)
We look pretty normal (I promise I'll be better)
Lets go back to that (Mommy I'll do anything)
In our family portrait (Can we work it out)
We look pretty happy (Can we be a family)
Lets play pretend (I promise I'll be better)
Act like it goes naturally, (Daddy please don't leave)
Oh lets go back Oh lets go back
In our family portrait (Can we work it out)
We look pretty happy (Can we be a family)
We look pretty normal (I promise I'll be better)
Lets go back to that (Mommy I'll do anything)
In our family portrait (Can we work it out)
We look pretty happy (Can we be a family)
We look pretty normal (I promise I'll be better)
Lets go back to that (Daddy please don't leave)
Remember that the night you left
You took my shining star
Daddy don't leave...
Daddy don't leave...
Daddy don't leave...
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
i know how you all feel muy step dad is a total !@#% and i just want to cry and this song tells me that even though they fight somday every thing will be better
it about the kids in the world like pink how family had somr bad times and how there parent hurt them when they dont mean to andit sad lisining to thissong becaues everyone has gone throug hsomthing like this at home
Well I guess everyone in their lives and situations have these problems that we have no control over. I am sorry to those who have lost their family to divorce. I wish mine was fine and dandy but no one is perfect...right?
this is my life. it realy hurts. hardly anyone can understand what its like to hear you parents screaming at each other,and after each fight my mother says she hates me.i want it to end,but happily!
