Versuri 07. Family Portrait

Aah aah [Incomprehensible] 
Aah aah [Incomprehensible] 
Ohh ohh ohh ohh 
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah 
 
Mama 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 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?) 
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 yelling 
(Stop) 
I can't stand the sound 
(Can't stand the sound) 
Make Mama stop cryin' 
'Cause I need you around 
 
My mama, she loves you 
(I know it) 
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 
(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 
That I've seen, I don't want love to destroy me 
  (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? 
I promise I'll be better 
  (I promise I'll do anything) 
Mommy, I'll do anything 
  (To keep you better) 
 
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 
(Stay)

I don't wanna have to split the holidays

Have to change her last name!
