Mama please
stop crying
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 God
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
growing up in W W 3
Never knowing
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
Mammy
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 crying
'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
don't wanna go back
To that place
but don't have
No choice
no way
It ain't easy
growing up in W W 3
Never knowing
what love could be
But I've seen
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
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
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
Every 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
And like it comes
naturally
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
We look pretty normal
let's go back to that
Don't leave
oh~ daddy 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
mam 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 oh~
