by N/A 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 Dad you didn´t 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 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 Repeat 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! Repeat CHORUS Mama I´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
