Goodbye Alice In Wonderland
Jewel
[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
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

these are really strong lyrics...such strong feelings. i searched for the complete lyrics. although jewel used it to relay her feelings about love for hollywood's fame and fortune, it could obviously be related to personal love as well.
"a heart can hallucinate
if it's completely starved for love"
i could just feel the heaviness, sadness, disappointment and at the same the lightness of finally seing the truth in things.
i hope this will be your closure. it is tough, but it'll be for your own good. just remember the right one will come when you least expect it, in God's perfect timing. take care friend, i miss your old self. :)
thanks, deb! i'm glad you took the time to research on it. i know it's tough but you know what, i could now laugh it out. i know he feels i'm drifting, guess, i just have to be civil when he's around. my guy will come, that i'm sure of. and when that time comes, he'll be showered with love.
God bless! ;)
Ey Milds!
Just don't promise. I was like that before =D I mean... no need to say that this will be the last entry about him... don't make it hard for yourself... just make it drift away... slowly but surely... ;)
You won't notice... that everything's over and you'll finally be happy & contented with what you're feeling :)
God bless you always :)
hey, joice, thanks for the comment! i don't promise if i couldn't keep it. my tears have actually ran dry. the hope is dead, and what i do now is pray for a better future.
God bless!
That's ok!
Let's keep on praying :)
