It's 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 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 they 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 embarassed 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's 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
For what's been missing in my life

And 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 and seeing for what you've been told

Truth is stranger than fiction, this is my chance to get it right
And life is much better without all of those pretty lies

So goodbye alice in wonderland and you can keep your yellow brick road
Cause 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've found what's missing in my life.
