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
I 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
And make everything be wonderful again
I hope my mom and I hope my dad
Will figure out why they get so mad
I hear them scream, I hear them fight
They say bad words that makes me want to 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 some day"
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
Tell me everything is wonderful now
Na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na-na
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 a lot, so my friends won't know
When the bell rings, I just don't want to 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 is 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
Na-na, na-na-na-na (no)
Na-na, na-na-na-na (no)
Na-na, na-na-na-na (I don't want to hear you tell me)
Na-na, na-na-na-na (everything is wonderful now)
Na-na, na-na-na-na (no)
Na-na, na-na-na-na (no)
Na-na, na-na-na-na (I don't want to hear you tell me)
Na-na, na-na-na-na (everything is wonderful now)
I don't want to hear you say
That I will understand some day
No (no), no (no)
No (no), no (no)
I don't want to hear you say
You both have grown in a different way
No (no), no (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 (everything)
I hate everything (everything)
Everyone and everything
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now
Whoa-oh! (Whoa-oh!)
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now
Whoa-oh! (Whoa-oh!)
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now
I don't wanna hear you tell me
Everything is wonderful now
Whoa-oh! (Whoa-oh!)
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now
Na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na-na (ooh, yeah, yeah)
Na-na, na-na-na-na (everything is wonderful now)
Na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na-na (ooh, yeah)
Na-na, na-na-na-na (everything is wonderful now)
Na-na, na-na-na-na (now)
Na-na, na-na-na-na (now)
Na-na, na-na-na-na (now)
Na-na, na-na-na-na (everything is wonderful now)
Na-na, na-na-na-na (now)
Na-na, na-na-na-na (now)
Na-na, na-na-na-na (I don't want to hear you say)
Na-na, na-na-na-na (everything is wonderful now)
