Jewel – Goodbye Alice In Wonderland Lyrics  Share

From Jewel's album: Goodbye Alice In Wonderland

Verse 1:
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
Just a guitar 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

Chorus 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 searching
For what was missing in my life

Verse 2:
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
You did not

Yes a heart can hallucinate
If it^,s completely starved for love
Can even make monsters seem like
Angels from above

You forged my love like a weapon
[ Goodbye Alice In Wonderland lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/j/jewel/goodbye-alice-in-wonderland/ ]
And turned it against me like a knife
You broke my last heartstring
But you opened up my eyes

Chorus 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 wanting
what was missing in my life

Bridge:
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 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

Verse 3:
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

Chorus 3:
So Goodbye Alice in Wonderland
You can keep your yellow brick road
Cause 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
