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
