    Lyrics:
    Momma please stop cryin, I can't stand the sound
    Your pain is painful and its 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, bout 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"

    One of the most powerful visualizations of what it feels like to realize the trauma you carried into your adulthood and realize you have an inner child that is begging to be heard and seen. P!nk has such a deep understanding of emotions - makes me appreciate her work more holistically as an adult.

      +Isabelle Torres she wasn't even bragging, she was just saying how she's thankful and you know what? She should be. No, not everyone has a loving family and that's not their fault. Even if someone does have a loving family, they sometimes take advantage of it. She's just being thankful and we need more of that in the world. There was absolutely no bragging in her comment whatsoever.

    Edit- thank ya'll for your sweet comments! I am happy and healthy and sane despite growing up in a broken home. But even tho I'm happy now it's still okay to be sad about the past, and even cry if I need to, no matter how silly (or ugly) I look when I do.

      +Kamila Domain I'm so sorry. Divorce affects children greatly and shouldn't be decided lightly. as long as there's no violence or abuse going on, people with kids should really work on their marriages and think of the kids. Kids don't ask to be brought into this world, we choose to have them. They are human beings and they deserve what's beat for them. and a whole family is what is best.

      +Kitty LissieGirl I don't know if you were around in 2001 but she didn't fit the Britney mold on purpose. She was the "anti Britney" and that's how she was marketed after ditching the RnB flashy clothes thing her record company insisted on. It's really funny to watch the contrast of her first music videos that were supposed to be "urban" then a song like Get The Party Started where theres skateboards and all that. Tony Hawk was the shit. She was definitely in a mold sharing it with Avril Lavigne. If you don't believe me connect the dots, Arista was their label. Pink was more genuine about it though. This pop rock direction is where she wanted to be, while Avril had a tomboy costume on, wearing a tie with cargo pants that so clearly wasn't her idea but she did it because she had to fit the mold that Pink laid out. Everyone has their pop lane so it's not THAT embarrassing to be cliche. You have to kind of laugh at "compared to damn Britney Spears" line in Don't Let Me Get Me. How dated is that? Kids have to google who Britney Spears is to understand that one lol

      Cat XD I was around all right. I just remember an article in a magazine calling her the R&B Britney Spears and one calling her the "tougher" Britney Spears because she was blonde and danced in her videos....And yes, this was before Misundaztood.
      I wasn't really talking about "molds" or cliches regarding imagery, though that's a good point. I was talking about music. Pink was in a lane all her own. It's kind of hard to see other pop artists singing her music successfully without it seeming a little awkward, which is why you hardly see covers of her songs. Her genuine nature is what adds identity to her music, which helps her step into her own lane. Even when she was doing R&B, listen to the song Split Personality, Most Girls, There You Go, her biggest songs. Grab the lyrics. The sound was different from Misundaztood, but the content (lyrics) was all the same. She was still edgy and was quite down-to-earth even before she did a different sound. No R&B artists had the same content she had. Most either sang about love, break-ups, and sex. Split Personality was about none of that.
      In comparison to Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson, Britney spears, Mandy Moore, Hoku, Shakira even, Pink didn't sing the average love/break-up songs they sang. Most Girls was a far contrast to Jessica's Irresistible or Mandy Moore's I Wanna be with You, just examples. Same with Split Personality. Just because someone sings livlier songs, or rock and roll, and adds skateboards, it doesn't make someone unique.

    Momma please stop cryin, I can't stand the sound
    Your pain is painful and its 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, bout 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 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 knowin what love could be,
    well I've seen I don't want love to destroy me
    like it did 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
    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
    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
    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'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....

    It's amazing how a childhood trauma prevents you from loving someone, "I dont want love to destroy me like it did my family". It was a lifetime to start loving MYSELF first, many years of therapy. Now I have to learn how to love a partner without loosing myself in the middle. This song is heartbreaking.

    I saw this when I was eight years old and it brought me so much comfort back then. Pink was and is my hero. She's always been down to earth and independent and a bad a**. Her music got me through soooo much.
