[00:17.76]It's four in the afternoon
[00:20.90]I'm on a flight leaving L.A.
[00:29.67]Trying to figure out my life and
[00:33.80]My youth scattered along the highway
[00:41.86]Hotel rooms and headlights
[00:47.48]I've made a living with a song
[00:54.11]Guitar as my companion
[00:59.26]Wanting desperately to belong
[01:05.77]Fame is filled with spoiled children
[01:11.63]we grow fat on fantasy
[01:19.12]I guess that's why I'm leaving
[01:22.61]I crave reality
[01:29.18]So goodbye Alice in Wonderland
[01:38.18]Goodbye yellow brick road
[01:44.26]There is a difference between dreaming and pretending
[01:49.54]I did not find paradise
[01:55.14]It was only a reflection of my lonely mind wanting
[02:04.59]what’s been missing in my life
[02:14.00]I'm embarrassed to say the rest is a rock and roll cliché
[02:19.04]I hit the bottom when I reached the top
[02:26.33]but I never knew it was you who was breaking my heart
[02:30.92]I thought you had to love me
[02:34.65]But you did not
[02:38.08]Yes, a heart can hallucinate
[02:44.89]If it's completely starved for love
[02:51.28]It can even turn monsters into
[02:55.39]Angels from above
[03:02.62]You forged my love just like a weapon
[03:08.80]And turned it against me like a knife
[03:15.94]You broke my last heartstring
[03:21.20]But you opened up my eyes
[03:26.44]So goodbye Alice in Wonderland
[03:34.85]Goodbye yellow brick road
[03:41.21]There is a difference between dreaming and pretending
[03:46.45]That was not love in your eyes
[03:52.22]It was only a reflection of my lonely mind searching
[04:02.04]For what’s been missing in my life
[04:06.78]And growing up is not an absence of dreaming
[04:09.57]Its being able to understand the difference between
[04:12.67]The ones you can hold and the ones that you've been sold
[04:19.08]But dreaming is a good thing cause it brings new things to life
[04:22.10]Pretending is an ending that perpetuates a lie
[04:25.32]Forgetting what you are
[04:26.59]Seeing for what you've been told
[04:32.10]Truth is stranger than fiction
[04:38.17]this is my chance to get it right
[04:45.17]Life is much better without all of those pretty lies
[04:55.63]So Goodbye Alice in Wonderland
[05:04.27]You can keep your yellow brick road
[05:10.41]Cause there is a difference between dreaming and pretending
[05:16.16]These are not tears in my eyes
[05:21.20]They are only a reflection of my lonely mind finding
[05:29.22]They are only a reflection of my lonely mind finding
[05:38.00]I've found what’s missing in my life
