Family Portrait (Live)
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
We look pretty normal
SO let's go back to that
In our family portrait
we look pretty happy
Let's play pretend act
like it goes naturally

Daddy please don't
leave
