Goodbye To Romance
Lisa Loeb / Dweezil Zappa / Michael Porcaro / Stephen Ferrone / Michael Sherwood Lyrics

Yesterday has been and gone
The past is over and cannot be changed.

Tomorrow will I find the sun
There is hope for a brighter future.

or will it rain
Uncertainty looms ahead.

Everybody's having fun except me I'm the lonely one
Others seem to be enjoying themselves while the artist is feeling isolated and dejected.

I live in shame
The artist feels ashamed about their past mistakes or current circumstances.

I've been the king, I've been the clown
The singer has experienced both success and failure in life.

now broken wings can't hold me down
The singer has overcome their obstacles and is free to move forward.

I'm free again
The artist has regained their freedom and independence.

The jester with the broken crown
The artist sees themselves as a fool who has lost their power or authority.

It won't be me this time around
The artist is determined to avoid making the same mistakes again.

to love in vain

and I feel the time is right although I know that you just might say to me
The artist is prepared to take a risk despite the possibility of criticism from others.

what you gonna do

But I have to check this chance
The singer feels compelled to seize this opportunity despite the risks involved.

goodbye to friends and to romance
The singer is saying farewell to their past relationships and friendships.

And to all of you
The artist is bidding farewell to all those who have influenced their life.

Come on now!
Expresses the artist's determination to move forward with their life.

and the winter is looking fine
The singer is optimistic about the future despite the challenges ahead.

and I think the sun will shine again
The singer is optimistic about a brighter future.

and I feel I've cleaned my mind
The artist has cleared their mind of past regrets and is ready to move forward.

all the past is left behind again
The artist has moved on from their past and is focusing on the present and future.

I guess that we'll meet, we'll meet in the end
The artist is acknowledging that their paths may cross again in the future.

I said goodbye to romance [yeah]
