Family Portrait by PINK

Uh, uh, some deep shit, uh, uh 

Momma please stop cryin, I can't stand the sound 

Your pain is painful and its tearin' me down 

I hear glasses breakin as I sit up in my bed 

I told dad 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 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 yellin, I can't stand the sound

Make mama stop cryin, cuz I need you around 

My mama she loves you, no matter what she says

its true 

I know that she hurts you, but remember I love

you, too 

I ran away today, ran from the noise, 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 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 

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 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 

We look pretty normal, let's go back to that 

In our family portrait we look pretty happy 

Let's play pretend, act like it goes naturally 

In our family portrait we look pretty happy 

(Can we work it out? Can we be a family?) 

We look pretty normal, let's go back to that 

(I promise I'll be better, Mommy I'll do

anything) 

In our family portrait we look 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, Daddy please don't

leave) 

In our family portrait we look pretty happy 

(Can we work it out? Can we be a family?) 

We look pretty normal, let's go back to that 

(I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't

leave) 

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
