In the shadows, for my time. 11
I’ve been searching, I’ve been living, 4
For tomorrows, all my life. 10

Family portrait by PINK
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 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 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
Nevergreen "Since you've been gone" |
Search and you will find there is no reason
I can't convince myself to let you go
I never promised you it would be easy
It seems to me that nothing's fair in love
Chorus:
Since you've been gone
Baby you've been on my mind
Since you've been gone, how can I go on
Since you've been out of my life
Baby since you've been gone
I guess that I should be alright
Since you've been gone, how can I go on
Since you've been out of my life
I'm not so sure this is the right decision
I still believe that we can find a way
Girl why can't you see how much I miss you
I'd wish you would come back to me and stay
[Chorus]
Since you've been gone
I can do what I want
I can go anywhere
Because now nobody cares
Since you've been gone
I can hear all the songs on "kill 'em all"
But I feel so alone
All I want is to turn you around back home
