Goodbye to Romance
Ozzy Osbourne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tomorrow will I find the sun or will it rain
Everybody's having fun except me I'm the lonely one
I live in shame
I said hey goodbye to romance yeah
Goodbye to friends and to you
Goodbye to all the past
I've been the king, I've been the clown
Now broken wings can't hold me down
I'm free again
The jester with a broken crown
It won't be me this time around to love in vain
I said hey goodbye to romance yeah
Goodbye to friends and to you
Goodbye to all the past
I guess we'll meet, we'll meet in the end
And I feel the time is right
Although I know That you just might say to me
What ya gonna do
What ya gonna do
But I have to take this chance
Goodbye to friends and true romance
And to all of you and to all of you
Come on now
I said goodbye to romance yeah
Goodbye to friends and to you
Goodbye to all the past
I guess we'll meet, we'll meet in the end
And the weather's lookin' fine and I think the sun will shine again
And I feel I've cleared my mind all the past is left behind again
I said goodbye to romance
Goodbye to friends and to you
Goodbye to all the past
I guess we'll meet, we'll meet in the end
The lyrics of Ozzy Osbourne's "Goodbye to Romance" deal with the pain and regret of leaving behind friends and love in the past.

In response, Ozzy says goodbye to romance, friends, and the past, embarking on a new journey of self-discovery.
The song's lyrics also capture Ozzy's struggle with his own identity. As the "king" and "clown," he has experienced great highs and lows, but now his "broken wings" can't hold him down. He is free again, ready to face the future with a jester's wit and vulnerability. The song's final lines reflect Ozzy's newfound strength and optimism. He believes that the weather is looking fine, and that he has finally cleared his mind of the past. Though he may not know what the future holds, he is confident that he will find peace and happiness in the end.

I've been the king, I've been the clown
Experiencing both triumphs and failures
Now broken wings can't hold me down
Overcoming obstacles that once held you back
I'm free again
Feeling liberated and unburdened
The jester with a broken crown

It won't be me this time around to love in vain
Avoiding the mistakes of the past and not repeating them
And I feel the time is right

Although I know That you just might say to me What ya gonna do What ya gonna do
Anticipating criticism or disapproval from others
But I have to take this chance
Taking a risk in pursuit of personal growth and happiness
And to all of you and to all of you
Saying goodbye to everyone from the past
And the weather's lookin' fine and I think the sun will shine again
Feeling hopeful and optimistic about the future
And I feel I've cleared my mind all the past is left behind again
Letting go of the past and embracing a fresh start
