Lyric Family Portrait

Artist: Pink

Song: Family Portrait

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

Momma please stop crying, I can it stand the sound
Your pain is painful and its tearing me down
I hear glasses breaking as I sit up in my bed
I told God you didn’t mean those nasty things you
said

You fight about money, bout me and my brother
And this I come home to, this is my shelter
It aim it easy growing up in World War Three
Never knowing what love could be, you will see
I don it 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 will be better, Mommy I will do anything
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I will be better, Daddy please don’t leave

Daddy please stop yelling, I can’t stand the sound
Make mama stop crying, 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 aim it easy growing up in World War Three
Never knowing what love could be, well I've seen
I don’t want love to destroy me like it did my family

(Chorus)
In our family portrait, we look pretty happy
Lets 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
Lets 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 will be better, Mommy I will do anything)
in our family portrait we look pretty happy
(Can we work it out? Can we be a family?)
Let's play pretend act and like it comes so naturally
(I promise I will 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 will 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 will be so much better, I will tell my brother
Oh, I won’t spill the milk at dinner
I will be so much better, I will do everything right
I will be your little girl forever
I will go to sleep at night
