woke up today
to everything gray
and all that I saw
just kept going on and on
sweep all the pieces under the bed
close all the curtains and cover my head
and What You Wish For won't come true
you aren't surprised, love, are you?

if this serenade
            repeat after me
                        just a little bit closer
is not what you want
            do what I say
                        caught up in a lie
it's just how it is
            won't change a thing
                        got a little bit colder
it keeps going on and on

come out come out wherever you are
would you do it all over, right from the start?
and What You Wish For won't come true
you aren't surprised, love, are you?
so What You Wish For won't come true
you aren't surprised, love, are you?

once had this dream
crashed down in oz
not black and white
but where the colors are
I never dreamed that I would let it go

and I will get what I deserve
keep all the secrets under the bed
open the curtains, forget what I said
and What You Wish For could come true
you aren't surprised, love, are you?
so What You Wish For could come true
you act surprised, love, are you?
