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 headlines, I've made a living with a song Gguitar as my companion, wanting desperately to belong
Fame is filled with spoiled children, they grow fat on fantasy I guess that's why I'm leaving, I crave reality
Refrão 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 wanting what was missing in my life
I'm 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 but you did not
Yes a heart can hallucinate If it's completely starved for love Can even turn monsters in 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
Refrão 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 searching what's been missing in my life
And growing up is not the 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 Dreaming is a good thing cause it brings new things to life Pretending is an ending that perpetuates a lie Forgetting what you are Sing for what you've been told
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
So Goodbye Alice in Wonderland 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 was missing in my life
