Mama please stop cryin´

I can´t stand the sound

Your pain is painful and it´s

tearing me down

I hear glasses breaking

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 & my brother

And this I come home to

This is my shelter

It ain´t easy, growin´ up in WW3

Never knowin´ what love could be

You´ll see, I don´t want love to destroy me

Like it has done my family



CHORUS

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 cryin´

´Cause I need you around

My mama she 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 (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 WW3

Never knowin´ what love could be

But I´ve seen, I don´t want love to destroy me

Like it has done my family



Repeat CHORUS



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 stepbrother anyway

And I don´t want my mom to have to change her last name!



Repeat CHORUS



Mama I´ll be nicer

I´ll be so much better

I´ll tell my brother

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

Daddy don´t leave... daddy don´t leave
