Goodbye Alice In Wonderland

It's four 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 headlines
 I've made a living with a song
 Guitar as my companion
 Wanting desperately to belong
 Fame is filled with spoiled children
 And we 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 cliche
 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 heartstring
 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
 What's been missing in my life
 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
 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
 Truth is stranger than fiction
 And this is my chance to get it back
 And life is much better
 Without all of those pretty lies, oh
 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
