Well I've been way so long 嗯，我一直这样这么久

I'm too numb to dislike it 我太麻木不喜欢

And la's one big hit song 和洛杉矶的一大主打歌

I never learned to fight it 我从来没有学会打吧

Dear caroline 亲爱的卡罗琳

It never meant to go this far 这绝不是远远走这

It started out to be a game 它开始是一个游戏

I never meant to be a star. 我从未想过要成为一个明星。

   

And everybody smiles 每个人都笑了

But their eyes stare out so empty 但是，他们的眼睛瞪出这么空

From a face they scrub with dial 从他们脸上用拨号擦洗

And the words that spill so fancy 而这句话是洒那么花哨

Dear caroline 亲爱的卡罗琳

I thought my songs would change the world 我以为我的歌将改变世界

Instead of slowly getting rich 而不是慢慢变富

Off the emotions of young girls. 关少女的情绪。

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

And what really makes me laugh 而真正让我笑

Is that nothing's really changed 那是什么也没有真的改变

Since that day I left you years ago 自从那一天，我几年前离开你

To find myself a name 为了找到自己的名称

And what really makes me cry 而真正让我哭

Is that it's only an illusion 是，它只是一个假象

And all that success means 和所有的成功意味着

Is just money and confusion. 仅仅是金钱和混乱。

   

I've been told you settled down 我已经告诉你失望入驻

Found yourself a family 发现自己家

I'll send my latest record down 我会派我的最新记录下来

The critics tell me that it's happening 批评者告诉我，这是怎么回事

Dear caroline 亲爱的卡罗琳

There's nothing really left to say 有没有什么可说的

I hope you still remember me 我希望你还记得我

After the songs all fade away. 歌曲毕竟消逝。

   

[Repeat chorus] [重复合唱]
