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.
The song isn't about "trauma", it's about how the divorce of her parents affected her, and how said divorce made Pink blame herself for their problems.
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 don't date anymore because I don't see a point in it anyway... And everyone says I will change my mind about getting married and having kids but I don't want kids and I don't see a point in marriage either (especially in the society we live in) I prefer staying alone because I don't want to get hurt again and I don't trust men because I've been sexually molested by enough of them and my family life wasn't the easiest and I don't want to start a family of my own.... I'm only 20
@@daisydavis9424 I don't, and will never have kids for the only reason that I don't want to impose that on anyone. I've never had a choice about life. I'm 30 right now, and spend 23 years wanting to die. Don't do anything you don't wanna do. To keep your sanity, it's better for you. But in the same time don't listen to stranger on the internet :D Do just what suits you the most. That's what'll make you the happier =). Peace lil' angel.
This song has always made me ugly cry. Growing up in a broken home is neither fun nor romantic. It's a hell I wouldn't wish on my worst enemies. 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.
I think what makes this song hard for someone like me is when the home is broken or was for so many years, with violence and betrayal, and they stay together thinking its best for the kids like we aren't aware of whats going on
Same here all I remember was my parents fighting all the time and trying to buy my love both of them .To this day I can't except a present without thinking of the person has some type of agenda
Такая пронзительная песня о ребенке, который мучительно хочет семейного счастья, когда все рушится и он не понимает , как все вернуть...Очень сильная песня, которая обращает внимание на страдания ребенка и его право быть счастливым ..
я эту песню постоянно заказывал на Европе+, я ребенок с такой тяжелой судьбой, но родителей люблю все равно почему-то. я вырос сильном в любом случае, закалили меня. конечно, папы уже нет в живых, но все ему простил сразу же, как его не стало. мы вдвоем остались с мамой.
Growing up in an abusive/toxic household is never easy. I’m almost done. Ready to go...grew up listening to this song and here I am 8-10 years later still listening and relating to each and every single lyric. Sad I have to leave my brother, but after 10 years they still fight and just won’t separate. Pink was honestly my inspiration and still is, I don’t know if a song will ever hurt me as much as this one does each time I listen to it. But it’s worth it
I hope the future is far brighter for you, you’re worthy of a good life full of love. Chase it down and don’t stop. Your family doesn’t define who you become and what you can achieve. I believe in you

Sadly my son is going tru the same because I was in and out of jail all his life and he's 23 and hurting and I don't know how to make it better or help because of my childhood 😢😢😢
Didnt know that.. You really do learn something new even day! Still playing this song in 2023, like many others it moves me on a personal level, always will! ❤
Hi, I read your comment and I can relate to this too. I know it's not much, but I truly do hope you find the courage in your heart to try to love and be loved in return. ♥ I'm working on it myself, I haven't found neither trust or love yet, but I've recently learned to not be afraid of rejection, so that's some improvement. Never give up, this is a step by step thing, it needs time ♥
This is the most emotional song i've ever heard. It makes it deep everytime i hear it.. and It took me 1 year to realize that the little girl is not her ACTUAL daughter, It was her past self..
I'm 30 yrs old and this song still gets me every time, this song saved me when I was 12, it made me feel less lonely or like I wasn't the only one, now I read the comments and see how many of us went through sh*t like this, I just hope every one of us can heal.
mee to. I heard it first time when I was abou 13 years old and going through rough oarch in my family. And understood it even though I barely understood english back then.
There’s actually quite a few pop artists that have meaningful songs. All of pinks songs are amazing, then there’s Sam Smith, Demi Lovato, Kesha, Jess Glynne, Jessie J, etc
I used to listen to this song a lot when I was a kid and my parents just got divorced. I remember crying and watching this music video. So many parents don't realize how divorce and fighting in front of your kids affects them when they don't know what's going on. P!nk was a huge idol for me as a young girl.
Very true. My parents got divorced when I was really young and my father was neglectful, cruel and abusive. And my step father was just...not what I felt was a man worth imitating or being a role model. But everyone thought we were a perfect family and he and I used butt heads constantly. We were having WWIII because I just felt like he was a loser. So I could relate to this. And my father...just wasn't what I deserved.
@@scarletserena those scars healed up what feels like 1000 years ago. But I do understand that feeling that everyone thinks you're just this perfect family and you literally hate it. I remember hating my parents because my mom and step dad used to argue all the time but when we went to church they acted like the perfect couple. We actually took a family portrait together and we did look happy but the whole ride there my step dad and I argued the entire way there. I mean argued and argued. I used to hate the sight of that man. But I was always told how ungrateful I was because he came in the process and stepped up to be a "father " to me and he nowhere near what I wanted. I'm not going to act like I was the perfect kid because I was a terrible little shit of a teenager. Sneaking out and skipping school. I was in a dark place and this song helped get me through that. But now that I'm grown I just used my experiences to know how to not raise my children and how to not be with my future spouse. I hated our family portrait. We all were so pissed off with each other that day. But thankfully I'm over it now. They're divorced now. 🙏🙏🙏
same here, everything was great in the beginning but it was a slow descent into WW3, I used to skip this song and only listen to Get the Party Started but once the bad times came I stopped skipping this song as well as Because of You and When Your Gone.
I know now why my daughter listened to this song. It was me and her dad fighting all the time. She didn’t deserve to have this life. We both got away from him but way too late. Sorry Liz
+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
+puppyspirit36 i dont get how you feel old by knowing who britney is... Everyone still knows who she is mostly cuz of her break down in 2010 i think it was, and she is on XFactor, and she is still making new music. i dont get how you feel old...
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.
Anyone else has noticed how beautiful Pink is? I mean wow. Beautiful voice,beautiful face and this song is so heartbreaking. It makes sense when you're an adult. Pink is a phenomenal artist!
I love to watch this and read this comments and feel like I'm not alone in this world with such complicated feelings. Pink made genius thing. This is more than song for me. It's like my whole childhood and my state of soul. Amazing woman. To bring up such an important topic. Love and respect Pink forever
I think Pink was the only reason I survived as much as I did when I was a child and her songs still hit deep even till this day. She's linked to so many childhood memories, good and the bad and she's the reason I carried on. Can't believe how many years has passed since the first time I ever heard her song. Thank you for being the guardian angel I always wished for.
P!nk used to be my shelter, my 'home' when I was a teenager. Without you, beautiful soul, I wouldn't have been here in 2024. This song - still accurate but from a different perspective. Now I'm a woman who stopped pretending that everything is fine within her family and left it for real. Still healing and it's such an amazing journey! 🙏
This song was a fucking anthem for all the kids who grew up in households like this. I remember venting my little heart out back in the day to this song. I'll remember this song for my entire life.
This makes me wanna cry, it makes me think about these children who grow up in the middle of a disfunctional family. Kids suffer a lot and some adults don't realize about it.
Some adults really don't know, how it really is for a child. Children are so much vulnerable than adults, yelling and screaming is similar like throwing grenades at them just like she said in the song "it's ain't easy to grow up in world war III". And yes it's so much easier help these sad children than a scared and broken adult....
My late daughter who was 15 listening to this and I miss hearing her sing this to me she was murdered at age 16 and I am 50 yrs old still listening to it
Family Portrait - lyrics: Momma 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 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 growing up in World War three 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 yellin', I can't stand the sound Make mama stop cryin', 'cause I need you around My mama, she loves you, no matter what she says, it's true I know that she hurt 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 three 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 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 In our family portrait we look pretty happy (Can we work it out, can we be a family?) We look pretty normal, let's go back to that (I promise I'll be better, mommy I'll do anything) In our family portrait we look pretty happy (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) In our family portrait we look pretty happy (Can we work it out, can we be a family?) We look pretty normal, let's go back to that (I promise I'll be better, daddy please don't leave) 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 Mum 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
I’ve been looking for this song for YEARS and I couldn’t remember the name. Heard it somewhere last Friday and it was one of the best moments of my life honestly. I had everybody around me helping me to Shazam it as my eyes started watering. My mom and I used to sing this song together when I was a child and now 15years later as an adult I feel every single bit of it. My link with this song will forever be strong and particular and my heart is heavy when I write this words down. God bless y’all 🤍
THIS!!! I also listened to it on repeat when my ex husband and I got divorced, I worried so much that my kids would feel this way... but I also knew I didn't want them to grow up thinking that's what love looked like... my ex husband is now pretty much non existent (my kids are 18 & 14 now) and my husband has stepped up and been the father they always deserved and they now see what love should be!
Очень глубокая песня. Аналогия с внутренним ребенком мощная. И вот эта эмоция в клипе, когда она сгибается, словно от сильной боли - все реально. Я сама пережила эту боль, даже и не пережила еще, видимо она меня переживет..
I was listening to throw backs and this one got my eyes tearing up quick. Instant flashbacks to my traumatic childhood. Family portrait was my favorite song to blast through the walls when my parents fought. P!NK got me through my childhood
Hello yeah same here,my childhood was a mixture of great moments and pain till this day I cry listening to this masterpiece but now it clean my soul and heart no family is perfect is just no excuse kids don’t deserve any kind of suffering, greetings great comment, wish you happiness.👌🙏
Alecia is a great musician and a great artist! In her songs are many of her childhood experiences, trying to work them out. That's why i love her music, cause i can feel the vibes!
This song was always on repeat for me growing up, I'm 28 now and it still brings me to tears hearing this song and taking me straight back to my childhood.
This songs tells the story of my family break up and how kids feel... they dont want to be split between 2 families :( but go along with it to keep the peace.. so sad that it speaks to so many
This song still makes me cry even after all these years. I have my first child on the way and I'm gonna do EVERYTHING to make sure he/she doesn't feel this way.
Im in my 30s....im a dude....this album got me thru alot as a system kid ..boys home,... foster care..closed custody..and a big string of alone.... Pink held me up and together and still does to this day, ❤❤❤❤ also DMX too❤❤❤ but pink is my soft side ❤
В детстве, не зная перевода, я застывала когда слышала эту песню, она проникла однажды в душу) и сейчас, уже понимая, о чем она, слезы льются сами по себе💔
I started listening to this (I was just going through old music videos) and burst into tears. I had the best day but this song always gets to me. Music has always been my escape, I remember when I was about 8-10 and I used to listen to this in my room and cry because of my situation and how much I could relate to it. This and Dear Mr. President have always been my favourite two P!nk songs because of the emotion in them
Yeah, I can relate. I remember my parents got divorced and it was such an emotional time for me, and whenever I heard this song as a kid I would actually sit and listen to the lyrics and realize that I wasn't alone in the situation. As sad as divorce can be for a child, this song, although very powerful and emotional, oddly enough was very comforting because I could relate to pink and I didn't feel alone.
found a CD at a thrift store of the greatest hits so far and freaked out!! been so long since i thought of your music and it’s such a big part of my childhood, your music made me feel seen and listened to. got me thru the trenches. i will forever be grateful for your work.
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?

Первый раз я увидела этот клип очень - очень давно! У меня было счастливое детство! Папа и мама, теплый дом, запах маминой еды, и конечно любимый папа❤. Папа мама спасибо вам за мое детство 😢😭 Сейчас мне 33 года, я давно вышла замуж, у нас есть дети. И только сейчас я поняла смысл этого клипа 😔 Пусть все дети планеты будут счастливы! Семьи крепкими и счастливыми!
I cry when i hear this song, Its so true, all children going through this know what this child feels like. :'( I am just so sad that this happens in the first place. P!nk is such an inspiration..
Anya Latyshev So are mine, Haven't seen my real mom in a while :'( DIVORCE SUCKS. A word to the ones who divorce: "If you don't love that person, don't marry them in the first place. Prevent the pain and suffering you might give your children by divorcing. Also, don't Make your child choose, It just tears them to pieces.."
elisabeth rose they do love each other at the beginning…but that changes after a while, like after money problems and, they think that they will never get divorced and it just happens and this song is great and my parents are divorced and i hate it and asked why they got married in the first place….but if they didn't get married, you wouldn't be here so thank them for trying to work it out and usually they try for a long time but like most cases, they don't try hard enough so just be thankful for having a life and parents.
I remember being 4 when I first heard this and felt it so deeply growing up in an abusive household. She was my motivation and her music was literally my therapy. She's an inspiration
Omg not this song making me cry at 33!!!! When it came out around 20 yrs ago I had no idea (I mean I was like 12) that her inner child was singing to her!!!! I love pink sm
...bull💩 ...theres good music around nowadays too you just dont pay attention... ...20 years ago your parents said the same and its like that with every generation... ...i wish people would be more open minded...
That's some GREAT storytelling and singing! The song developed after about 20 minutes in the studio, according to a P!nk interview. Great chorus - "Can we work it out? (Can we?) Can we be a family? (Can we?) / I promise I'll be better (I promise) / Mommy, I'll do anything (I'll do anything) /Can we work it out? Can we be a family? / I promise I'll be better. The anaphora "Can we..." repeated in the chorus really emphasizes the child's emotional pleas, making it a heart-wrenching piece that resonates with many people who have experienced family separation and separation and grieving in general. Thank you, P!nk!
This song got me through some family trauma, I even drew about it high school. Listening to it still makes me tear up, because I resonate with it so much. I’m glad my little family with my husband and kids doesn’t. ❤️
Everytime I hear this, I feel like crying. It takes me back to all those fights and arguments my parents had when I was a kid and how sad I used to feel because I didn’t have a perfect family as my classmates made me believe they had. This song does hurt....

I use to listen to this song as a kid all the time and i didn't really understand why it meant so much to me as a kid. Now at 22 I'm standing in my kitchen, cry singing this song bcuz i finally realized this song made me feel so understood and valid. I love PINK so much she's always been such an amazing advocate for mental health and dealing with childhood trauma.
The first time I heard this, I had literally forgotten how bad my parents divorce was. It brought all that shit back instantly. It ripped me to pieces. Still does when I hear it.
That was beautifully said. I love that Pink sings about real issues and doesn't just produce some catchy, run-of-the-mill songs like so many other "artists" do.
My parents never split but they did argue. When they were good together they were amazing. When they were arguing it could be horrible especially as a kid. This song always made me cry and even now chokes me up. With so many songs i feel like she's put my life into words i couldnt describe on my own.
I was a lost and misguided 16 year old listening to this back in 2002 I didn't realize how good life really was back then now I'm 38 years old still trying to figure things out struggling with addiction. Hearing this song just makes me feels so nostalgic. Greetings from the Philippines 🇵🇭🖐🏼

I didn't know English back then. I was listening this song with my sister. We both got the message without langauge. It was definitely anthem of our family(?). I hate toxic parents...
This is as real as I will EVER get, my story is this exact video. I have said all of these things growing up, except I was an only child. P!NK was able to put these words to music in heartbreaking detail. My heart goes out to all of the other hurt children, even those grown, who shares this story as well.
I wasnt´t little anymore but I was needing my dad so much,but is it too late?We saw us the last time 5 years ago,okay I done much shit in the past but he know that and he feel so sorry but should I go in kontakt with him???
Being listened this today, while driving, just couldn`t stop crying. Wanted to write some words here about feelings, but can`t. Pink said the whole in the Soul Language... There is nothing to say... Just feelings.
Damn what a song. Just listened to it the first time in years. Goes deep instantly. This is real music coming from a real artist. It touches and triggers real emotions. One of her best songs in my opinion.
It is time to repent! It is time to BORN AGAIN! It is time to reject all sins! it is time to pick up your cross and follow the one who redeems your soul. This world serves BAAL, why you want to do the same? Are your eyes still blind, that you see not, all the idols of yours are showing off freemasonry hand signs?, neither do you see the clear signs of being inverted? Publicly known as being trans. GOD - the creator exist and god of this world exist also. One redeems, the other deceives. Between these 2 a choosing is to make, WHOM SHALL WE SERVE? Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. To the lgbtq++++: the lgbtq++ club/cult became to be, because of the masons depopulation agendas. search about them. Judge based on knowledge not based on feelings. feelings lie, humans understandings are false. opinions useless. TRUTH alone is what always stays mattering.
Yeah, it's an amazing song, as are all of her other and a lot of them have very powerful lyrics that relate to real life and people's situations. It can be nice to be able to relate to a song.
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.
I will agree with you on that because this is a powerful song to listen to!
Agreed, very well put.
@@celesteangelique9829 Thanks for agreeing with me and I hope that you will have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
The song isn't about "trauma", it's about how the divorce of her parents affected her, and how said divorce made Pink blame herself for their problems.
@@catisreckless4647 Yes, that must be difficult when it comes to dealing with parents who divorced each other
44 year old, celebrating our 1st grandchild and STILL cry every single time I hear this. Childhood trauma sticks the hardest.
🥺🥺Yeah😔
A lot of people are still trying to heal the wounded child within.
Understand you very much! Congrats on your grandchild birth!
It never seems to go away. Or be fixed.
Understand u so much..cry every time i hear this..my father left when i was 5 years old..childhood trauma heats hardest..((
The little girl, on the verge of tears, breaks my heart.
lindsey smith yeah it's even worse when it's ur own childhood
Yea, great actress that little one. Maybe she was tapping into some personal perspectives....
lindsey smith Mine too.
Itz_ Faith Unfortunately, you are right.
I wonder how grown she is now she’s a great little actress
I don't care what anyone says but in my opinion this was Pinks greatest hit ever She really put her all into it A real Masterpiece
,💯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯 ABSOLUTELY!! 👏🏾👏🏾
Absolutely 💯 She put her heart and soul into the song, and you can feel it.
P😊⁰@@desihay22
Easily my favorite by her
Oh yes I agree completely
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.
Yeah, sometimes I feel I'm incapable of love 😔
#angelnumber77
I'm glad you could start loving yourself! I'm proud of you! Maybe someday I'm able to love myself too
I don't date anymore because I don't see a point in it anyway... And everyone says I will change my mind about getting married and having kids but I don't want kids and I don't see a point in marriage either (especially in the society we live in) I prefer staying alone because I don't want to get hurt again and I don't trust men because I've been sexually molested by enough of them and my family life wasn't the easiest and I don't want to start a family of my own.... I'm only 20
@@daisydavis9424 I don't, and will never have kids for the only reason that I don't want to impose that on anyone.
I've never had a choice about life. I'm 30 right now, and spend 23 years wanting to die. Don't do anything you don't wanna do. To keep your sanity, it's better for you. But in the same time don't listen to stranger on the internet :D Do just what suits you the most. That's what'll make you the happier =). Peace lil' angel.
This song has always made me ugly cry. Growing up in a broken home is neither fun nor romantic. It's a hell I wouldn't wish on my worst enemies.
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.
But it brings on character that only a group of us truly understand.
I can agree with both of yall
I think what makes this song hard for someone like me is when the home is broken or was for so many years, with violence and betrayal, and they stay together thinking its best for the kids like we aren't aware of whats going on
Totally feel u and agree
I feel you
This song reminds me of my childhood and all the damage it done to me as an adult. Still bring tears every time u hear it.
Same here all I remember was my parents fighting all the time and trying to buy my love both of them .To this day I can't except a present without thinking of the person has some type of agenda
michelle cottrell same here its ardbut we have to be strong fr ourselves ife isa gift greeting s ..
It is my childhood 😪
And so time is my everything
I swear I could have posted the same thing... I love it but it makes me cry.
Такая пронзительная песня о ребенке, который мучительно хочет семейного счастья, когда все рушится и он не понимает , как все вернуть...Очень сильная песня, которая обращает внимание на страдания ребенка и его право быть счастливым ..
Wie recht du hast,so traurig aber wahr.
я эту песню постоянно заказывал на Европе+, я ребенок с такой тяжелой судьбой, но родителей люблю все равно почему-то. я вырос сильном в любом случае, закалили меня. конечно, папы уже нет в живых, но все ему простил сразу же, как его не стало. мы вдвоем остались с мамой.
Growing up in an abusive/toxic household is never easy. I’m almost done. Ready to go...grew up listening to this song and here I am 8-10 years later still listening and relating to each and every single lyric. Sad I have to leave my brother, but after 10 years they still fight and just won’t separate. Pink was honestly my inspiration and still is, I don’t know if a song will ever hurt me as much as this one does each time I listen to it. But it’s worth it
This song is extremely deep for me as well 💗.
I hope the future is far brighter for you, you’re worthy of a good life full of love. Chase it down and don’t stop. Your family doesn’t define who you become and what you can achieve.
I believe in you
Me too. 💘 It will all be okay.
You give me hope that I can get away and escape the fighting to. I’m 17 and my parents fight everyday.

There are people who never had a "home", and never will. Truth.
Either the lil girl was a good actress or she was feeling it. Damn
She was feeling it totally, it breaks me
Juliana Porto ok but can we talk about that flip she did at one point in the video
I know..It always boggles me...😭
Definitely feeling it, especially on the stair case when pink wraps her arms around her. So sad.
I cryed to

Zhipsy ? Like in in Moldova or Romania?
@@lidiamartz9591 , Romanian are the people of Romania, the word for gypsy is rroma and yes, we have a big Rroma community in Romania, like we have Hungarian people, some Germans, some Russians, Turks.

@@lidiamartz9591 , plain Romanian. Gypsy are one of the minorities that live in Romania, we are not all gypsy. We also have Germans, Russians and almost one million Hungarians.

Suzy me uh huh
Yes, tears, always...
Dj Kelsey passed away this week. Wow was she talented
I can't believe this song came from a poem she wrote when she was only 9. Pink is all of us and the collective trauma we went through. 🤟🏻
🤟🏻
My childhood spot on and many others 😢
Sadly my son is going tru the same because I was in and out of jail all his life and he's 23 and hurting and I don't know how to make it better or help because of my childhood 😢😢😢
Didnt know that.. You really do learn something new even day! Still playing this song in 2023, like many others it moves me on a personal level, always will! ❤
*Alicia*
“I don’t want love to destroy me like it has done my family” relate to that 😭
Me too I have always been afraid to love or be loved
Hi, I read your comment and I can relate to this too. I know it's not much, but I truly do hope you find the courage in your heart to try to love and be loved in return. ♥ I'm working on it myself, I haven't found neither trust or love yet, but I've recently learned to not be afraid of rejection, so that's some improvement. Never give up, this is a step by step thing, it needs time ♥
I do very much so
Love doesn't not destroy
But gives life 😥
@@saraabdifara2570 mixed up love can mess u up until u find out what it is u are afraid of nice comment tho GL
This is the most emotional song i've ever heard. It makes it deep everytime i hear it.. and It took me 1 year to realize that the little girl is not her ACTUAL daughter, It was her past self..
Крутая песня я слишу это песня с детства ❤
I'm 30 yrs old and this song still gets me every time, this song saved me when I was 12, it made me feel less lonely or like I wasn't the only one, now I read the comments and see how many of us went through sh*t like this, I just hope every one of us can heal.
mee to. I heard it first time when I was abou 13 years old and going through rough oarch in my family. And understood it even though I barely understood english back then.
Same 31 and and I cry everytime and I can't listen to it once I have to replay it over and over
This still makes me cry no matter how many years pass

ari white I just found this song. Every time I listen to it I cry.
me too! it's a masterpiece

Sucks to live like this
A pop song with deep meaning. This is what hard to find nowadays.
Exactly !!!! 100% agree
Just compare it to ariana grandeeeee lyricssss😐 break up with your girl frienddd yeah yeah cause im boaaaaard😑😑😑😑😑
Petra Wéber i know i feel the pain in this song
I agree. Actually all genres are horrible now
There’s actually quite a few pop artists that have meaningful songs. All of pinks songs are amazing, then there’s Sam Smith, Demi Lovato, Kesha, Jess Glynne, Jessie J, etc
In 2024 this song still resonates with millions of people the trauma they have experienced.. life.. 💔
I used to listen to this song a lot when I was a kid and my parents just got divorced. I remember crying and watching this music video. So many parents don't realize how divorce and fighting in front of your kids affects them when they don't know what's going on. P!nk was a huge idol for me as a young girl.
Very true. My parents got divorced when I was really young and my father was neglectful, cruel and abusive. And my step father was just...not what I felt was a man worth imitating or being a role model. But everyone thought we were a perfect family and he and I used butt heads constantly. We were having WWIII because I just felt like he was a loser. So I could relate to this. And my father...just wasn't what I deserved.
@@averymartin321 I hope you are in a better place in life now and have done some healing ❤️
@@scarletserena those scars healed up what feels like 1000 years ago. But I do understand that feeling that everyone thinks you're just this perfect family and you literally hate it. I remember hating my parents because my mom and step dad used to argue all the time but when we went to church they acted like the perfect couple. We actually took a family portrait together and we did look happy but the whole ride there my step dad and I argued the entire way there. I mean argued and argued. I used to hate the sight of that man. But I was always told how ungrateful I was because he came in the process and stepped up to be a "father " to me and he nowhere near what I wanted. I'm not going to act like I was the perfect kid because I was a terrible little shit of a teenager. Sneaking out and skipping school. I was in a dark place and this song helped get me through that. But now that I'm grown I just used my experiences to know how to not raise my children and how to not be with my future spouse. I hated our family portrait. We all were so pissed off with each other that day. But thankfully I'm over it now. They're divorced now. 🙏🙏🙏
same here, everything was great in the beginning but it was a slow descent into WW3, I used to skip this song and only listen to Get the Party Started but once the bad times came I stopped skipping this song as well as Because of You and When Your Gone.
Scarlet I feel for you and if you give me a chance I will never let you down again I was there every time for you.
I know now why my daughter listened to this song. It was me and her dad fighting all the time. She didn’t deserve to have this life. We both got away from him but way too late. Sorry Liz
Think positive. At least you and Liz are out of that nightmare
That’s amazing you can self reflect like that. I hope things are better for you guys now.
❤️
:( i guess ill have the same issue
your child is lucky to have a mom like you
P!nk was absolutely not the cliche in 2001. There were so many artists that fit the "Britney" mold, and Pink was just in a classification all her own.
+TheBookWorm1718 ok
+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
ooo
+puppyspirit36 i dont get how you feel old by knowing who britney is... Everyone still knows who she is mostly cuz of her break down in 2010 i think it was, and she is on XFactor, and she is still making new music. i dont get how you feel old...
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.
I forgive you mama, may your soul rest in peace 🕊️ and I love you millions times
Anyone else has noticed how beautiful Pink is? I mean wow. Beautiful voice,beautiful face and this song is so heartbreaking. It makes sense when you're an adult. Pink is a phenomenal artist!
absolutely agreed !!!!
This!!!
Yes its true. Beautiful
She truly is ❤
Bet she’s a freak too 💯
I love to watch this and read this comments and feel like I'm not alone in this world with such complicated feelings. Pink made genius thing. This is more than song for me. It's like my whole childhood and my state of soul. Amazing woman. To bring up such an important topic. Love and respect Pink forever
Amen xX
lol
Кошмар
I just hate her music changed so much, but over time change can be good.
I think Pink was the only reason I survived as much as I did when I was a child and her songs still hit deep even till this day. She's linked to so many childhood memories, good and the bad and she's the reason I carried on. Can't believe how many years has passed since the first time I ever heard her song.
Thank you for being the guardian angel I always wished for.
Same here. My early teens were the worst years of my life. P!nk’s music truly saved me and listening to these songs now make me so emotional
❤same here
Спасибо 🙏
Perfectly said, took the words right out of my mouth. Sending you love!
2023.
P!nk used to be my shelter, my 'home' when I was a teenager. Without you, beautiful soul, I wouldn't have been here in 2024. This song - still accurate but from a different perspective. Now I'm a woman who stopped pretending that everything is fine within her family and left it for real. Still healing and it's such an amazing journey! 🙏
This song was a fucking anthem for all the kids who grew up in households like this. I remember venting my little heart out back in the day to this song. I'll remember this song for my entire life.
Yes. I grew up thinking unhappy. Marriages are the way it is fight.
Mary did you know,..,,,
thats how kids feel, trying to pick up the pieces, even in families that " keep it together" 😪
This song and that song “wonderful”

Kelsey Lewis
She's 22 yo now.
Same age as me, born in 1995. Shit. That makes me feel old.
This makes me wanna cry, it makes me think about these children who grow up in the middle of a disfunctional family. Kids suffer a lot and some adults don't realize about it.
Some adults really don't know, how it really is for a child. Children are so much vulnerable than adults, yelling and screaming is similar like throwing grenades at them just like she said in the song "it's ain't easy to grow up in world war III". And yes it's so much easier help these sad children than a scared and broken adult....
My late daughter who was 15 listening to this and I miss hearing her sing this to me she was murdered at age 16 and I am 50 yrs old still listening to it
I'm so sorry for your loss, Lady, wish you well❤
🙏🏾 🕊 ❤
This is so sad. To lost his child is a worse case.
God will give you the power to live.

Family Portrait - lyrics:
Momma 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 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 growing up in World War three
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 yellin', I can't stand the sound
Make mama stop cryin', 'cause I need you around
My mama, she loves you, no matter what she says, it's true
I know that she hurt 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 three
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
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
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
(Can we work it out, can we be a family?)
We look pretty normal, let's go back to that
(I promise I'll be better, mommy I'll do anything)
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
(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)
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
(Can we work it out, can we be a family?)
We look pretty normal, let's go back to that
(I promise I'll be better, daddy please don't leave)
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
Mum 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

те же эмоции, без знания языка...
Арбенину Юго 2 послушайте, там все по-русски)))
To all of us that came from broken homes. I love y'all.
I’ve been looking for this song for YEARS and I couldn’t remember the name. Heard it somewhere last Friday and it was one of the best moments of my life honestly. I had everybody around me helping me to Shazam it as my eyes started watering.
My mom and I used to sing this song together when I was a child and now 15years later as an adult I feel every single bit of it. My link with this song will forever be strong and particular and my heart is heavy when I write this words down.
God bless y’all 🤍
this song hit hard for me as a teenager, but it hits now even harder as a mom and wife. Big kudos to Pink for creating a timeless piece of art!
YES! SO much more now as a wife mother shelter for my kids the way my parents couldn't do for me.
Thank you
Same here.
It hurt when I was a kid, it hurts even more now that I'm a father and history repeats.
Lies again? Fight Pass USD SGD
THIS!!! I also listened to it on repeat when my ex husband and I got divorced, I worried so much that my kids would feel this way... but I also knew I didn't want them to grow up thinking that's what love looked like... my ex husband is now pretty much non existent (my kids are 18 & 14 now) and my husband has stepped up and been the father they always deserved and they now see what love should be!
i don't know how she does it,, she always seem to write straight to my heart
i know right
Edy London ikr her videos r always like real life or setting a go getter example
when Pink does pain she always hits it right on the head, awsome track from a brilliant artist
Lee Wiggett njjiiu,lpocdnjjo
exactly something ive always respected about her as and artist i feel it makes her so underrated shes like a female eminem
The saddest thing about this song is that so many people can relate to it.

Очень глубокая песня. Аналогия с внутренним ребенком мощная. И вот эта эмоция в клипе, когда она сгибается, словно от сильной боли - все реально. Я сама пережила эту боль, даже и не пережила еще, видимо она меня переживет..

I was listening to throw backs and this one got my eyes tearing up quick. Instant flashbacks to my traumatic childhood. Family portrait was my favorite song to blast through the walls when my parents fought. P!NK got me through my childhood

Thx for the friendship. Hope to see you around often. 🌷🌷
I started listening to this (I was just going through old music videos) and burst into tears. I had the best day but this song always gets to me. Music has always been my escape, I remember when I was about 8-10 and I used to listen to this in my room and cry because of my situation and how much I could relate to it. This and Dear Mr. President have always been my favourite two P!nk songs because of the emotion in them
yea this tune always hits me it's just lyrics are so meanifull in many aspects of one's life..Pink rocks my world boom yawl
рэ
Yeah, I can relate. I remember my parents got divorced and it was such an emotional time for me, and whenever I heard this song as a kid I would actually sit and listen to the lyrics and realize that I wasn't alone in the situation. As sad as divorce can be for a child, this song, although very powerful and emotional, oddly enough was very comforting because I could relate to pink and I didn't feel alone.
And they said soul-mates didn't exist
found a CD at a thrift store of the greatest hits so far and freaked out!! been so long since i thought of your music and it’s such a big part of my childhood, your music made me feel seen and listened to. got me thru the trenches. i will forever be grateful for your work.
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

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....
Первый раз я увидела этот клип очень - очень давно! У меня было счастливое детство! Папа и мама, теплый дом, запах маминой еды, и конечно любимый папа❤. Папа мама спасибо вам за мое детство 😢😭 Сейчас мне 33 года, я давно вышла замуж, у нас есть дети. И только сейчас я поняла смысл этого клипа 😔 Пусть все дети планеты будут счастливы! Семьи крепкими и счастливыми!
😊😊😊😊😊
I cry when i hear this song, Its so true, all children going through this know what this child feels like. :'( I am just so sad that this happens in the first place. P!nk is such an inspiration..
my parents are divorced
Anya Latyshev So are mine, Haven't seen my real mom in a while :'( DIVORCE SUCKS. A word to the ones who divorce: "If you don't love that person, don't marry them in the first place. Prevent the pain and suffering you might give your children by divorcing. Also, don't Make your child choose, It just tears them to pieces.."
elisabeth rose they do love each other at the beginning…but that changes after a while, like after money problems and, they think that they will never get divorced and it just happens and this song is great and my parents are divorced and i hate it and asked why they got married in the first place….but if they didn't get married, you wouldn't be here so thank them for trying to work it out and usually they try for a long time but like most cases, they don't try hard enough so just be thankful for having a life and parents.
my friends mom died and my friends only 7 and her dads a drug attic
anime lov I'm so sorry for your friend. :C
Amazing little actress she is incredible.
I remember being 4 when I first heard this and felt it so deeply growing up in an abusive household. She was my motivation and her music was literally my therapy. She's an inspiration
Эта песня всегда будет задевать мою душу. Как так получилось спеть про несчастное детство ❤
It would've been so hard for me to do! She's absolutely amazing. She is singing my childhood pain. 😢
I love Pink's voice 💖😊
I love p!nk💛💚💚💚
Dame this and fucking perfect
I love pink
Carmilla Laura me too
Omg not this song making me cry at 33!!!! When it came out around 20 yrs ago I had no idea (I mean I was like 12) that her inner child was singing to her!!!! I love pink sm
Way, way back when people write emotional, meaningful songs.. Let's go back to that..
That is true, the singers to day writen nothing important, only empty words...for empty heads.
...bull💩 ...theres good music around nowadays too you just dont pay attention...
...20 years ago your parents said the same and its like that with every generation...
...i wish people would be more open minded...

@@AndreHerzvampire anti hero best day all the kids are depressed distraction there still serious songs you just have to look for them
@@insel8131thank you
That's some GREAT storytelling and singing! The song developed after about 20 minutes in the studio, according to a P!nk interview. Great chorus - "Can we work it out? (Can we?) Can we be a family? (Can we?) / I promise I'll be better (I promise) / Mommy, I'll do anything (I'll do anything) /Can we work it out? Can we be a family? / I promise I'll be better. The anaphora "Can we..." repeated in the chorus really emphasizes the child's emotional pleas, making it a heart-wrenching piece that resonates with many people who have experienced family separation and separation and grieving in general. Thank you, P!nk!
This song is so timeless! Pink is still the most talented artist in the world to me. ❤
This song got me through some family trauma, I even drew about it high school. Listening to it still makes me tear up, because I resonate with it so much. I’m glad my little family with my husband and kids doesn’t. ❤️
well, two adresses, one for son and one for moon and apple?!
Everytime I hear this, I feel like crying.
It takes me back to all those fights and arguments my parents had when I was a kid and how sad I used to feel because I didn’t have a perfect family as my classmates made me believe they had.
This song does hurt....
After 21 years and we are here to listen to this Masterpiece from Pink, again and again, Timeless song! Love it
Edit: 🙏 for the likes

there a many ideas of a car wash from Jessica S to Missy E but why does this nice little girl wear military stuff?

I use to listen to this song as a kid all the time and i didn't really understand why it meant so much to me as a kid. Now at 22 I'm standing in my kitchen, cry singing this song bcuz i finally realized this song made me feel so understood and valid. I love PINK so much she's always been such an amazing advocate for mental health and dealing with childhood trauma.
The first time I heard this, I had literally forgotten how bad my parents divorce was. It brought all that shit back instantly. It ripped me to pieces. Still does when I hear it.
I'm 46 years old and I still bawl like a baby every time I hear this song.
Great song!

20 years later and this song still makes my cry, I guess some pains never go away

Yeah, never go...
This song litterally break my heart, even after all these years 💔
I love you, Pink ❤
after all these years, I still can't hear this song without crying my heart out...
baby blue why so?
baby blue ,vGot ya!!
baby blue if i hear the song i'm cry every teim
baby blue I get it
Same I've listened to this since I was little. I can relate to this song
My life growing up was so much like this....I'm 50 and this song really hits home still
So many people have stories that need to be told but so few get heard.... Such a beautiful yet pain filled song.
That was beautifully said.
I love that Pink sings about real issues and doesn't just produce some catchy, run-of-the-mill songs like so many other "artists" do.
I forgot how good this song is!!!
Who's listening in 2019??? anybody???
I'm 57 and I NEVER tire of PINK. I'm still listening. I'm a forever fan. She reminds me so much of me at her age. ;)
Meeee

I am
My parents never split but they did argue. When they were good together they were amazing. When they were arguing it could be horrible especially as a kid. This song always made me cry and even now chokes me up. With so many songs i feel like she's put my life into words i couldnt describe on my own.
😢🙏
And we all looked amazing in our family portraits
This song helped me deal with so much growing up thank you @pink 😢❤
I was a lost and misguided 16 year old listening to this back in 2002 I didn't realize how good life really was back then now I'm 38 years old still trying to figure things out struggling with addiction. Hearing this song just makes me feels so nostalgic. Greetings from the Philippines 🇵🇭🖐🏼

I didn't know English back then. I was listening this song with my sister. We both got the message without langauge. It was definitely anthem of our family(?). I hate toxic parents...
Same here, but the video clip is so well done that I understood what kind of message it was
I feel you Luna
me too. energy undenstardable without words.
still hurts like a knife in the heart
I know how you feel, but my friend's parents got divorced and it wasn't a fun sight to witness in society.
This one hit even more, now as adult... ❤😢
This is as real as I will EVER get, my story is this exact video. I have said all of these things growing up, except I was an only child. P!NK was able to put these words to music in heartbreaking detail. My heart goes out to all of the other hurt children, even those grown, who shares this story as well.
Once i suggested my niece to play this song whenever her parents were arguing. i took a good bashing from my sister.
I have been listening to this song since I was really little and I still relate.
same 😪💔
Same....💔can't stop Crying
Yeah.
same
I wasnt´t little anymore but I was needing my dad so much,but is it too late?We saw us the last time 5 years ago,okay I done much shit in the past but he know that and he feel so sorry but should I go in kontakt with him???
This song was on repeat in my room when it came out. Got me thru my parents divorce. So many of her songs made me feel seen and heard.
Blasting it loud so my parents could hear what I was feeling hah memories
Being listened this today, while driving, just couldn`t stop crying. Wanted to write some words here about feelings, but can`t. Pink said the whole in the Soul Language... There is nothing to say... Just feelings.
You don't realize you have something until you've lost it.
even after years of listening to this I still cry. As a kid in a fractured family I saw myself in this song.

+Kiara Denise its okay stay strong
I think it was original idea of the video-to see yourself in that child.
“ In our family portrait we look pretty happy “ this song hurts so deeply.
This song and “conversations with my 13 year old self” still give me goosebumps every time I listen to them
Its impossible not to cry with this song when you live the same situation
I know she expresses it like she is right by my side every day

Damn what a song. Just listened to it the first time in years. Goes deep instantly. This is real music coming from a real artist. It touches and triggers real emotions. One of her best songs in my opinion.
It is time to repent!
It is time to BORN AGAIN!
It is time to reject all sins!
it is time to pick up your cross and follow the one who redeems your soul.
This world serves BAAL, why you want to do the same?
Are your eyes still blind, that you see not, all the idols of yours are showing off freemasonry hand signs?, neither do you see the clear signs of being inverted? Publicly known as being trans.
GOD - the creator exist and god of this world exist also.
One redeems, the other deceives. Between these 2 a choosing is to make, WHOM SHALL WE SERVE?
Deuteronomy 30:19
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Joshua 24:15
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
To the lgbtq++++:
the lgbtq++ club/cult became to be, because of the masons depopulation agendas. search about them. Judge based on knowledge not based on feelings. feelings lie, humans understandings are false. opinions useless. TRUTH alone is what always stays mattering.

Am I the only one who likes to watch these kinds of songs and has nothing to do with it? I mean I just like the story telling :)
Yeah, it's an amazing song, as are all of her other and a lot of them have very powerful lyrics that relate to real life and people's situations. It can be nice to be able to relate to a song.
I used to do that but now I just can't help but relate to this.
yeah
The most underrated Pink song of all time. Deep, meaningful, real and sad.
