Pink - Family Portrait LYRICS

Mama please stop cryinŽ
I canŽt stand the sound
Your pain is painful and itŽs
tearing me down
I hear glasses breaking
As I sit up in my bed
I told Dad you didnŽt mean
Those nasty things you said
You fight about money
About me & 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

CHORUS
Can we work it out
Can we be a family
I promise IŽll be better
Mommy IŽll 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 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)
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 has done my family

Repeat CHORUS

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 anyway
And I donŽt want my mom to have to change her last name!

Repeat CHORUS

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
