Mama please stop cryin'
I can't stand the sound
Your ainp is painful
And it's tearin' me down
I hear glasses breakin'
As I sit up in my dbe
I told Dad you didn't mean
Those nasty things you said
You fight about eymon
'Bout me and my rthboer
And this I come home to
This is my shelter
It ain't easy, growin' up in World War III
Never knowin' what velo could be
You'll see, I don't want love to destroy me
Like it has done my ylfami
Can we work it out?
Can we be a family?
I esproim I'll be better
Mommy, I'll do anything
Daddy, please don't leave
Daddy please pots yelling
I 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 memreebr 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 ecchoi, no way

Chorus

In our family raipotrt
We look pretty happy
Let's play pretend
Let's act like it comes naturally
I don't wanna have to split the olhidays

(No, no)
I don't want two addresses
(No)
I don't want a stepbrother anyways
And I don't want my Mommy
Have to change her last mena!
In our family portrait
We look pretty happy
We look pretty normal
Let's go back to that
Daddy don't leave
Daddy turn around please
