One of my favorites...
Jewel - Goodbye Alice in Wonderland
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
guitar as my companion
Wanting desperately to be belong
Fame is filled with spoiled children
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
whats been missing in my life
I'm embarassed to say
The rest is a 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 its completely starved for love
Can even turn monsters
Angels from above
you forged my love just like a weapon
and 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 whats been missing in my life
And growing up is not the absence of dreaming
Its being able to understand the difference between
The ones you can hold and the ones that you've been sold
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
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
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 whats missing in my life
