Pink - Family Portrait Lyrics

Uh, uh, some deep s**t, uh, uh

Momma please stop cryin
I can't stand the sound
Your pain is painful
And its tearin' 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
Aout 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

In our family portrait
We look pretty happy
Can we work it out
Can we be a family
We look pretty normal
Let's go back to that
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

In our family portrait
We look pretty happy
Can we work it out
Can we be a family
We look pretty normal
Let's go back to that
I promise I'll be better
Daddy please don't leave

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

In our family portrait
We look pretty happy
We look pretty normal
Let's go back to that
In our family portrait
We look pretty happy
Let's play pretend...
Act like it goes naturally

In our family portrait
We look pretty happy
Can we work it out
Can we be a family
We look pretty normal
Let's go back to that
I promise I'll be better
Daddy please don't leave

In our family portrait
We look pretty happy
Can we work it out
Can we be a family
We look pretty normal
Let's go back to that
I promise I'll be better
Daddy please don't leave

In our family portrait
We look pretty happy
Can we work it out
Can we be a family
We look pretty normal
Let's go back to that
I promise I'll be better
Daddy please don't leave

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
