FAMILY PORTRAIT by Pink
Uh, uh some deep shit, uh, uh
Momma, please stop cryin, i can’t stand the sound
Your .p. ... .... ... is painfull and its tearin’ me down
I hear .g.. ... .... .s.. .s.. ... ... breakin as I sit up in my bed
I told dad you didn’t mean those nasty things you said
You .f.. ... ... ... ... about money, bout me and my brother
And this I come .h.. ... ... ... 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 .d.. ... ..s.. .... .r... ... ... me like it has done my family
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I ..p. ... ... ... ..i. ... ... 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 .l.. ... ... ... ...
Daddy please stop yelin, I can’t stand the sound
Make mama stop cryin, cuz I need you around
My mama she .l.. ... ..v. ... ... you, no matter what she says its true
I know that she hurts you, but r... ... ... ... ... ... ... I love you, too
I ran away today, r... ... 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 ..f. ... ... ... ... ...
Can we .w.. ... ... ... it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I’ll be better, mommy I’ll do .a.. ... ... ..t. .h.. ... ... .g..
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I’ll be better, Daddy please don’t leave
In our family .p.. ... ... ... .r. ... ... ..t. , we look pretty happy
Let’s play pretend, let’s act like it comes naturally
I don’t wanna have to split up holidays

And I don’t want my mom to have to change her last name
