Goodbye Alice in Wonderland

Lyrics & Info	Tabs	Performances (93)

It's 4 in the afternoon  I'm on a flight leaving L.A.  Trying to figure out my life  My youth scattered along the highway  Hotel rooms and headlights  I've made a living with the song  Guitar as my companion,  Wanting desperately to belong Fame is filled with spoiled children  who grow fat on fantasy  I guess that's why I'm leaving  I crave reality So goodbye Alice in Wonderland,  Goodbye yellow-brick road,  There is a difference between dreaming and pretending  I did not find paradise  It was only a reflection of my lonely mind wanting  What's been missing in my life I'm embarrassed to say the rest is rock and roll cliché  I hit the bottom when I reached the top  But I never knew it was you who was breaking my heart  I thought you had to love me, but you did not Yes, a heart can hallucinate  If it's completely starved for love  It can even turn monsters into angels from above  You forged my love just like a weapon  And you turned it against me like a knife  You broke my last heart string  But you opened up my eyes So goodbye Alice in Wonderland,  Goodbye yellow-brick road,  There is a difference between dreaming and pretending  That was not love in your eyes  It was only a reflection of my lonely mind searching  For what's been missing in my life Growing up is not an absence of dreaming  It's being able to understand the difference between  The ones you can hold and the ones that you've been sold  And dreaming is a good thing cause it brings new things to life  But pretending is an ending that perpetuates a lie  Forgetting what you are seeing for what you've been told, oh  Truth is stranger than fiction  This is my chance to get it right  And life is much better without all of those pretty lies So goodbye Alice in Wonderland,  And you can keep your yellow-brick road,  There is a difference between dreaming and pretending  These are not tears in my eyes  They are only a reflection of my lonely mind finding  They are only a reflection of my lonely mind finding  I've found what's missing in my life
