This is a story about a girl who finds herself on the wrong end of a heroin habit. The speaker in the song is a friend reaching out to try to help the addict. This is the first in the three (so far) song story following this character through the depths of her addiction ...

So you're sick and tired of love

But you're hoping for a way to make it slowly disappear

And you feel like giving up

But the closer that you get to what you want ...



All is not what it seems

Cuz you know I'm waiting for you



Caroline your mind is slowly slipping away

I hope you find, find a reason to live



Now your friends they make you laugh

But you hope your father never sees the darker side of you

But you're falling much too fast

Now you've lost some weight and your face is pale and the beatings still hurt.

All is not what it seems

Cuz you know I'm waiting for you



Caroline your mind is slowly slipping away

I hope you find, find a reason to live

So you're sick and tired of love.
I'm tired ....
Caroline ...
