Well I've been way so long
|
I'm too numb to dislike it
|
And LA'S one big hit song
|
I never learned to fight it
|
Dear Caroline
|
It never meant to go this far
|
It started out to be a game
|
I never meant to be a star.
|
|
And everybody smiles
|
But their eyes stare out so empty
|
From a face they scrub with Dial
|
And the words that spill so fancy
|
Dear Caroline
|
I thought my songs would change the world
|
Instead of slowly getting rich
|
Off the emotions of young girls.
|
|
Chorus:
|
And what really makes me laugh
|
Is that nothing's really changed
|
Since that day I left you years ago
|
To find myself a name
|
And what really makes me cry
|
Is that it's only an illusion
|
And all that success means
|
Is just money and confusion.
|
|
I've been told you settled down
|
Found yourself a family
|
I'll send my latest record down
|
The critics tell me that it's happening
|
Dear Caroline
|
There's nothing really left to say
|
I hope you still remember me
|
After the songs all fade away.
|
|
Repeat Chorus
|
