Title: Family Portrait

Mama please stop cryin'
I can't stand the sound
You're pain is painful and it's
Tearing me down

I hear glasses breaking
As I sit up in my bed
I told God you didn't mean
Those nasty things you said

You fight about money
About me and my brother
And this i come home to
This is my shelter

It ain't easy, growing 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

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'
Cuz I need you around

My mama she loves you
No matter what she says is true
I know 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 got no choice no way

It ain't easy growing 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

In our family portrait
We look pretty happy
Let's play pretend
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 son't want my mom to have to change her last name

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
