family portrait

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
