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
