"Learning How To Smile" Lyrics
11. Wonderful
I close my eyes when it gets 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 want to cry
I close my eyes when I go to bed
And I dream of angels who will 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 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
Make believe 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's so big
I just don' understand how
you can smile with all those tears in your eyes
When you 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
I don't want to hear you say
That I will understand someday
I don't want to hear you say
You both have grown in a different way
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
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now....
