In my life I had applause and failures
I was bitterness turned into notes and bars
I ended up onstage behind the curtain
I had the promise of a one-year contract
The great interview never came out
And my future was just what you saw
In my life I had kisses and shoves
I forgot hunger at a banquet of illusions
I didn't understand most loves
I only realized that some left a lot of pain
I made the songs that in the end nobody heard
And my future was just what you saw
Goodbye sadness, see you later
I call you sad 'cause I feel that between us
There's nothing else to do or talk about
Goodbye sadness, see you later
I call you sad 'cause I feel that between us
There's nothing else to do or talk about
In my life I made round-trip journeys
I sang everything 'cause I'm a singer on the loose
Slowly in a couplé to start
With lots of force in the chorus that's popular
But again sad luck didn't smile
And my future was just what you saw
Goodbye sadness, see you later
I call you sad 'cause I feel that between us
There's nothing else to do or talk about
Goodbye sadness, see you later
I call you sad 'cause I feel that between us
There's nothing else to do or talk about
In my life I was always just another guy
It was so easy, I only had to choose
To choose myself, I thought that was vanity
But that's over, I'm not better but I'm real
I'm not here to suffer but to live
And my future will be whatever I want
Goodbye sadness, see you later
I call you sad 'cause I feel that between us
There's nothing else to do or talk about
Goodbye sadness, see you later
I call you sad 'cause I feel that between us
There's nothing else to do or talk about
