Family Portrait (Radio Edit)

Mama please stop cryin?br />I can�t stand the sound Your pain is painful and it 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 l 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 l be better Mommy I l do anything Can we work it out Can we be a family I promise I l be better Daddy please don�t leave Daddy please stop yelling I can�t stand the sound Make mama stop cryin?br />�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 e seen, I don�t want love to destroy me Like it has done my family In our family portrait We look pretty happy Let play pretend, let 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 I l be nicer I l be so much better I l tell my brother I won�t spill the milk at dinner I l be so much better I l do everything right I l be your little girl forever I l go to sleep at night Daddy don�t leave... daddy don�t leave
