"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
