Goodbye Alice In Wonderland Lyrics[Verse 1]
It's four in the afternoon
I'm on a flight leaving L.A
Trying to think about my life
My youth, scattered along the highway
Hotel rooms and headlights
I've made a living with a song
Guitar as my companion
Wanting desperately to belong

[Verse 2]
Fame is filled with spoiled children
And we grow fat on fantasy
I guess that's why I'm leaving
I crave reality
[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
I'm embarrassed to say the rest is a 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

[Verse 3]
You forged my love just like a weapon
And you turned it against me like a knife
You broke my last heartstring
You opened up my eyes

[Chorus]
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
What was missing in my life
[Bridge]
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

[Verse 4]
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, oh

[Chorus]
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 found what's missing in my life
