"hey, ain't life wonderful? wonderful, wonderful, wonderful... isn't it wonderful now?"

I close my eyes when i get too sad
I think thoughts that i know are bad
Close my eyes and i count to ten
Hope it's over when i open them

I want the things that i had before
Like a star wars poster on my bedroom door
I wish i could count to ten
Make everything be wonderful again

Hope my mom and i hope my dad
Will figure out why they get so mad
Hear them scream, i hear them fight
They say bad words that make me wanna cry

Close my eyes when i go to bed
And i dream of angels who make me smile
I feel better when i hear them say
Everything will be wonderful someday

Promises mean everything when you're little
And the world's so big
I just don't understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
Tell me everything is wonderful now

Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now

I go to school and i run and play
I tell the kids that it's all okay
I laugh aloud so my friends won't know
When the bell rings i just don't wanna go home

Go to my room and i close my eyes
I make believe that i have a new life
I don't believe you when you say
Everything will be wonderful someday

Promises mean everything when you're little
And the world is so big
I just don't understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
When you tell me everything is wonderful now

No
No, i don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now
No
No, i don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now

I don't wanna hear you say
That i will understand someday
No, no, no, no
I don't wanna hear you say
You both have grown in a different way
No, no, no, no
I don't wanna meet your friends
And i don't wanna start over again
I just want my life to be the same
Just like it used to be
Some days i hate everything
I hate everything
Everyone and everything
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now...

I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now
