I came so close to paradise
The feelings were so true
You cried for me to come home
Now, I was crying too
We said so many things in anger
There seems little left to do
Than put the pen to paper
I can't write good-bye to you

I didn't mean to wake up
From the dream that was my life
I didn't mean to wake up
I can't stop the changes now

When you wake up in the morning
Don't look for me, I'll be gone
There's a letter on the table

With best regards from john

I didn't mean to wake up
From the dream that was my life
I didn't mean to wake up
I can't stop the changes now

I came so close to paradise
The feelings were so true
You cried for me to come home
Now I'm crying too
I didn't mean to wake up
From the dream that was my life
I didn't mean to wake up
I can't stop the changes now
