family

I hear glasses breakin as I sit up in my bed
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
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
In our family portrait, we look pretty happy
Let’s play pretend, let's 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 step-brother anyways
And I don’t want my mom to have to change her
last name!!
Daddy don’t leave
Turn around please
Remember that the night you left you took my
shining star?
Daddy don’t leave
Don't leave us here alone
I’ll be so much better, I’ll tell my brother
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
