:to screw it up:
Forever, they will tell you
To do it better.
The next time you try,
they say, try harder.
With all they tryin', and the pleasin'
You'll wear yourself out fast.
And they'll tell you: no time to take a rest.

[Chorus]
One day, one wish, one love, one life.
One everything I don't have...
One day one wish one love one life.
One hope for a future.
One thing to believe in.
One chance to change fate.
One time to get it right.
Ten million times to screw it up.

When you're down, they will tell you
To smile brighter.
And when you frown they say,
Why hide they laughter.
With all the hidin', and the cryin'
You'll bring yourself down low
And then you'll find out: You should of told them off.

[Chorus]
[Bridge]
And when you're cryin' for help...
When you're surounded by hell,
What difference will it make to
try a little harder, to smile a little brighter.
Everything is wrong, no matter what.

[Chorus][once or twice]
[2nd Bridge]
They just want you to lie, pretend that everything's right.
Smile when they ask you what the matter is.
Shed your tears when you're alone. Slip a little farther into darkness.
Everything is wrong. Nothing is right.
Everything's goin' wrong.
Nothing turned out right.

[Chorus]
