I've been down so low people look at me and they know
They can tell something is wrong 
Like I don't belong
Well, staring through a window standing outside there just to happy to care 
And I wanna be like them but I'll mess it up again
I tripped them out when God kicked outside everybody's soul

[Chorus:]
And I know that it's a wonderful world 
But I cant feel it right now 
I thought I was doing well but I just want to cry now
Well I know that its a wonderful world from the sky down to the sea 
But I can only see when you're here, here with me 

Sometimes I feel so full that it just comes spilling out 
It's uncomfortable to see I give it away so easily 
But if I had someone I would do anything and never, never, never, never let you feel alone 
I won't, I won't leave you on your own 
Who am I to dream, dreams are for fools, they always let you down

[Chorus:]

And I wish that I could make it better
I'd give anything for you to call me
Maybe just a little letter
Oh it could start again

[Chorus:]

I know that its a wonderful world 
But I cant feel it right now
I've got all the right clothes to wear I just wanna cry now 
I know that it's a wonderful world from the sky down to the sea
But I can only see well when you're here, here with me

And I know that it's a wonderful world 
When your with me
