[Verse 1]
Tell me I’m not going crazy
Tell me I’m not all that lazy
Tell me I’m wonderful
Tell me I’m wonderful…
I know at times I am selfish
But I can’t help feeling helpless
Help me feel wonderful
Can’t I be wonderful?
[Chorus]
I know, I’ll be fine
I just wanted to hear it
Just to ease my mind
Can’t you see that I need it?
Oh, truly, I need it…
[Verse 2]
I’ll bear my soul in these verses
All of my blessings and curses
Tell me they’re wonderful
Aren’t they wonderful?
Sometimes I don’t know why I write it
The demons inside try to fight it
They don’t think I’m wonderful
Please, tell me I’m wonderful…
[Chorus]
I know I’ll be fine
I just wanted to hear it
Just to ease my mind
Can’t you see that I need it?
Oh, truly, I need it…
[Bridge]
Can’t you see that I need it?
Can’t you see that I need it?
[Verse 3]
Now that my story is ending
All of the notes I’ve been bending
Sound pretty wonderful
Don’t they sound wonderful?
[Chorus]
I know, I’ll be fine
I just wanted to hear it
Just to ease my mind
Can’t you see that I need it?
Can’t you see that I need it?
Oh, truly, I need it…
Wonderful was written by Luna Jax.
This song followed a feeling that I’ve been realizing I have more often than I’d like to admit, the desire for validation. I want some external indication that I’m not a failure or a hack. I just want to know that I’m wonderful
