[Verse 1:]
Its four in the afternoon
Im on a flight leaving L.A.
Trying to think about my life
My youth scattered along the highway
Hotel rooms and headlines
Ive made a living with a song
Just a guitar as my companion
Wanting desperately to belong
Fame is filled with spoiled children
They grow fat on fantasy
I guess thats why Im leaving
I crave reality
[Chorus 1:]
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 searching
For what was missing in my life
[Verse 2:]
Im embarassed to say the rest is a rock and roll cliche
I hit the bottom when I reached the top
I never knew it was you who was breaking my heart
I thought you had to love me
You did not
Yes a heart can hallucinate
If its completely starved for love
Can even make monsters seem like
Angels from above
You forged my love like a weapon
And turned it against me like a knife
You broke my last heartstring
But you opened up my eyes
[Chorus 2:]
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 wanting
what was missing in my life
[Bridge:]
Dreaming is a good thing cause it brings new things to life
Pretending is an ending that perpetuates a lie
Forgetting what you are
Seeing for what youve been told
And growing up is not the absence of dreaming
Its being able to understand the difference between the ones you can hold
And the ones that youve been sold
[Verse 3:]
Well, truth is stranger than fiction
And this is my chance to get it right
Life is much better without all of your pretty lies
[Chorus 3:]
So Goodbye Alice in Wonderland
You can keep your yellow brick road
Cause there is a difference between dreaming and pretending
That was not love in your eyes
It was only a reflection of my lonely mind wanting
It was only a reflection of my lonely mind wishing
That you were what was missing from my life
