Well I’ve been way so longI’m too numb to dislike itAnd LA’S one big hit songI never learned to fight itDear CarolineIt never meant to go this farIt started out to be a gameI never meant to be a star.And everybody smilesBut their eyes stare out so emptyFrom a face they scrub with DialAnd the words that spill so fancyDear CarolineI thought my songs would change the worldInstead of slowly getting richOff the emotions of young girls.Chorus:And what really makes me laughIs that nothing’s really changedSince that day I left you years agoTo find myself a nameAnd what really makes me cryIs that it’s only an illusionAnd all that success meansIs just money and confusion.I’ve been told you settled downFound yourself a familyI’ll send my latest record downThe critics tell me that it’s happeningDear CarolineThere’s nothing really left to sayI hope you still remember meAfter the songs all fade away.
