I don't wanna hear you say
That I will understand someday[ . . .]
And I don't wanna your meet friends
And I don't wanna start over again
I just want my life to be the same
Just like it used to be.
Somedays I hate everything
Everyone and everything (6-14, 47-54)
These lyrics are by well-known artist Everclear from their multi-platinum hit song "Wonderful."
