Its four in the afternoon
I'm on a flight leaving LA
Trying to think about my life
My youth scattered along the highway
Hotel rooms in headlights
I've made a living with a song
Just a guitar as my companion
Wanting desperately to be loved
Fame is filled with spoiled children
They grow fat on fantasy
I guess that's why I'm leaving
I crave reality
---vvv---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 searching
For what was missing in my life
VERSE AND CHORUS 2 SAME CHORDS
I'm embarassed to say
The rest is a rock and roll cliche
I hit the bottom when i reached the top
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 its completely stuffed for life
Can even make monsters seem like
Angels from above
Forged my love like a weapon
Turned it against me like a knife
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 wanting
What was missing in my life
------------^^^^^----------------
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 you've been told
And growing up is not the answer to dreaming
Its being able to understand the difference between
The ones you can hold and the ones that you've been sold
Truth is stranger than fiction
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
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
