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 youI 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 nowWhen 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 johnI 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 nowI came so close to paradise
The feelings were so true
You cried for me to come home
Now I'm crying tooI 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
