Lyrics - Wonderful by Everclear

’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
