Uh, uh, some deep shit, uh, uh
Mom please stop crying, I can't stand the sound
Your pain is painful and it's tearin 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, about me and my brother
And this I come home to, this is my shelter
It ain't easy growing up in World War III
Never knowing 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 mom stop crying, cause I need you around
My mom she loves you, no matter what she says it's 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 knowing 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
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

Can we work it out? Can we be a family?

Let's play pretend act and like it comes so naturally
I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't leave
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
Mom please stop crying, I can't stand the sound
