Jewel - Goodbye Alice in Wonderland Lyrics

Send "Goodbye Alice in Wonderland" ringtones to your cell

It’s four in the afternoon 
I’m on a flight leaving LA 
Trying to figure out my life 
My youth scattered along the highway 

Hotel rooms and headlights 
I’ve made a living with the 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 see the rest is rock n 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 the heart can hallucinate 
When 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 heart string 
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 
For what’s been missing in my life 

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 

Truth is stranger than fiction 
And this is my chance to get it right 
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
