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

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

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!

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
