 Pink -"Family Portrait"
Pink – Family Portrait
Mama 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, about me and my brother
And this I come home to, this is my shelter
It ain’t easy, growing up in World War Three,
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, 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 crying, coz I need you around.
My mama 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 a choice no way
It ain’t easy growing up in World War Three,
Never knowing what love could be, well I’ve seen
I don’t want love to destroy 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
Lets play pretend and 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 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
Lets play pretend, act 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
Lets play pretend, act like it comes naturally
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
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 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
Mum 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.
