Lyrics

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 that 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 (so big) I just don't understand how You can smile with all those tears in your eyes And 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 ok I laugh a lot 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 some day Promises mean everything when you're little And the world's so big (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 want to hear you tell me everything is wonderful now I don't want to hear you say That I will understand some day No, no, no, no I don't want to hear you say That you both have grown in a different way No, no, no, no I don't want to meet your friend And I don't want to 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 want to hear you tell me everything is wonderful now... I don't want to hear you tell me everything is wonderful now... Na, na, na, na, na, na, na... I don't want to hear you tell me everything is wonderful now... I don't want to hear you tell me everything is wonderful now... Na, na, na, na, na, na, na... Ooh ya Everything is wonderful now... Na, na, na, na, na, na, na... Everything is wonderful now... Na, na, na, na, na, na, na... Everything is wonderful now... Na, na, na, na, na, na, na... Everything is wonderful now...
