It's four in the afternoon
I'm on a flight leaving L.A.
Trying to figure out my life and
My youth scattered along the highway
Hotel rooms and headlights
I've made a living with a song
Guitar as my companion
Wanting desperately to belong
Fame is filled with spoiled children
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 say the rest is a rock and 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, 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 turned it against me like a knife
You broke my last heartstring
But 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
Its being able to understand the difference between
The ones you can hold and the ones that you've been sold
But 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
Life is much better without all of those pretty lies
So Goodbye Alice in Wonderland
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

Review about Goodbye Alice in Wonderland interesting fact | Reviewer: krissy | 11/4/2008
I'm sitting here watching "Jewel: The Essential Live Songbook" (which I HIGHLY recommend) and she states that this song is an autobiography of sorts and that she's actually quite embarrased to sing it live. That made me look at it in a different way. Just thought I would share!

Song Review | Reviewer: Kalaydea | 5/19/2007
"Goodbye Alice in Wonderland" is a wonderful song. However I don't understand why it is called "Goodbye Alice in Wonderland" when she says "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" as in "The Wizard of Oz".
