Intro

    

Verse 1

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
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 make me wanna cry
I 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"

Chorus

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
And tell me everything is wonderful now     
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now

Verse 2

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 wanna go
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

Chorus

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 want to hear you tell me everything is wonderful now
....No .... No
I don't want to hear you tell me everything is wonderful now

Bridge

I don't want to hear you say
That I will understand someday
No, no, no, no
I don't want to hear you say
You both have grown in a different way
No, no, no, no
I don't want to meet your friends
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...

Chorus

..........No.....
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now.........now...
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now... 
I don't want to hear you tell me
I don't want to hear you tell me everything is wonderful now...   
No
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now...   

Outro

Ooh, yeah, yeah, everything is wonderful now...      
Everything is wonderful now... 
Now........now........
Everything is wonderful now...
