Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah...
Momma please stop cryin', I can't stand the sound Your pain is painful and it's tearin' 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 III 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?) can we be a family? (Can we?) I promise I'll be better (I promise), mommy I'll do anything (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 (Stop), I can't stand the sound (Can't stand the sound) Make mama stop cryin, 'cause I need you around (yeah) My mama she loves you (I know it), 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 III Never knowin' what love could be, well 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? (Ohh, noo) I promise I'll be better (I promise I'll do), mommy I'll do anything (Anything to keep you there) 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 (Yeah) 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 (Let's play) I don't wanna have to split the holidays I don't want two addresses I don't want a step-brother anyways And I don't want my mom to have to change her last name In our family portrait we look pretty happy (Oh wow...) We look pretty normal, let's go back to that (Yeah...) In our family portrait we look pretty happy Let's play pretend, act like it goes naturally Family portrait, pretty happy (Can we work it out? can we be a family?) pretty normal let's go back to that (I promise I'll be better, mommy I'll do anything) In our family portrait, pretty happy (Can we work it out? can we be a family?) Let's play pretend act and like it comes so naturally (I promise I'll be better, mommy I'll do anything) (Oh let's go back, oh let's go back to that) Family portrait, pretty happy (Can we work it out? can we be a family?) (Remember the days, remember the days) Pretty normal, let's go back to that (I promise I'll be better, mommy I'll do anything) In our family portrait, pretty happy (Can we work it out? can we be a family?) Pretty normal, let's go back to that Daddy don't leave Daddy don't leave Daddy don't leave Turn around please Remember that the night you left you took my shining star? Daddy don't leave Daddy don't leave Daddy don't leave Don't leave us here alone Mom will be nicer I'll be so much better, I'll tell my brother Oh, 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  corrected by chasity on 25-11-2011 |

9 posts | this song is sooo sad... i used to listen to this all the time when i bought the cd... [offtopic]i personally can't relate to this song in my life but it reminds me of my little cousins and the sh*t that they are going through... their dad and mom never got married but their fighting over a custody suit... their mom is a total b*tch... she keeps telling them all this sh*t about their dad... my whole family tries so hard not to say anything mean about their mom around them or to them and then she goes and says that their dad is a bastard and that he hates them and that their moving away and will never see their dad again..she's also spread a whole bunch of lies about the rest of my family which is totally not true... they did this therapy thing with the kids, where they talked to the kids about their parents relationship and filmed it... (therapists did this) my cousins (their dad and his wife) watched it and it was sooooo depressing what these two little kids who are like only in grade two and like kindergarden had to say...
[topic=] this song is soo pretty... but really sad... it makes me wanna cry but i love it anyway |

19 posts |   you know, all you people are talking about how much you can relate to this song b/c your rents split. but i hate that all your doing is complaining. leave do something about it. dont whine. and if you have to damn you for doing it on the internet cause your too weak to say it out loud. YOU ARE SO AHHHHHHHHH!! you need a theropist!

3 posts | I give pink props for this song. Its sad but people can totally relate to it and thats what makes a song good. Everytime i hear this song it takes me back to when i was 6 and my dad walked out. Both my sisters and I stood at the door and yelled daddy dont leave, daddy dont leave. Kids have to remember that it isnt their fault. Parents fight, its just the way it goes. Anyone who can relate to this song, Im sorry to hear it. Anyone who cant, your lucky and be thankful that you cant. Wish that you never will have to relate to it. |
