Family Portrait AZ Lyrics By Pink

Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah...

Momma please stop cryin', I can't stand the sound
Your pain is painful and it's tearin' me down
I hear glasses breakin' as I sit up in my bed
I told God 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?) can we be a family? (Can we?)
I promise I'll be better (I promise),
mommy I'll do anything (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 (Stop),
I can't stand the sound (Can't stand the sound)
Make mama stop cryin, 'cause I need you around (yeah)
My mama she loves you (I know it), no matter what she says it's true
I know that 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 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 work it?) can we be a family? (Ohh, noo)
I promise I'll be better (I promise I'll do),
mommy I'll do anything (Anything to keep you there)
Can we work it out? can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better (I promise, I promise),
daddy please don't leave (Yeah)

In our family portrait (In our family portrait),
we look pretty happy (We look pretty happy)
Let's play pretend, let's act like it comes naturally (Let's play)
I don't wanna have to split the holidays
I don't want two addresses
I don't want a step-brother anyways
And I don't want my mom to have to change her last name

In our family portrait we look pretty happy (Oh wow...)
We look pretty normal, let's go back to that (Yeah...)
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
Let's play pretend, act like it goes naturally

Family portrait, pretty happy
(Can we work it out? can we be a family?)
pretty normal let's go back to that
(I promise I'll be better, mommy I'll do anything)
In our family portrait, pretty happy
(Can we work it out? can we be a family?)
Let's play pretend act and like it comes so naturally
(I promise I'll be better, mommy I'll do anything)
(Oh let's go back, oh let's go back to that)

Family portrait, pretty happy
(Can we work it out? can we be a family?)
(Remember the days, remember the days)
Pretty normal, let's go back to that
(I promise I'll be better, mommy I'll do anything)
In our family portrait, pretty happy
(Can we work it out? can we be a family?)
Pretty normal, let's go back to that

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

Mom 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
