Family Portrait
Momma please stop cryin, I can't stand the sound
Your pain is painful and it's tearin' me down
I hear glasses breakin 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 and my brother
And this I come home 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 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 yellin, I can't stand the sound
Make mama stop cryin, cuz 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
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 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 anyway
And I don't want my mom to have to change her last name
Remember that the night you left you took my shining star?
Daddy don't leave
Don't leave us here alone
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
【中文译文】
妈妈，请别再哭泣，我已听不下去
你的痛苦让我难过，把我摧毁
坐在床上，我听见杯子摔碎的声音
我告诉爸爸，你的恶言恶语并不是有意的
为钱、为我、为我弟弟打拼
这是我回的家，这是我的避风港
在第三次世界大战中成长并不容易
从不知道爱可以是什么样子
你将看见，我不想让爱毁灭我，像毁灭我的家一样
我们能解决这一切吗？我们能成为一个家吗？
我保证我会更好，妈妈，什么事我都愿意做
我们能解决这一切吗？我们能成为一个家吗？
我保证我会更好，爸爸，请不要离开
爸爸，请别再叫喊，我已听不下去
别再让妈妈哭泣，因为我需要你们在身边
妈妈她爱你，她说的什么都是对的
我知道你被她伤害，但记住还有我爱你
今天我逃开，从吵闹中逃开，逃开
不想回到那个地方，但没有别的选择，没办法
在第三次世界大战中成长并不容易
从不知道爱可以是什么样子
我已看见，我不想让爱毁灭我，像毁灭我的家一样
在我们的家庭画像中，我们看起来很快乐
让我们装装样子，让我们装得很自然
我不想把假日分成几段
我不想要两个地址
我不想要继兄弟
我不想我的妈妈不得不改变她的姓氏
还记得那个你离开我、带走我闪亮星星的夜晚吗？
爸爸，别离开
别撇下我们
妈妈会更友好
我会好很多，我会告诉我的弟弟
噢，我不会在吃饭时打翻牛奶
我会好很多，我会做好每件事
我将永远是你们的小女孩
我晚上会乖乖地睡觉
