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
_____
It's time to end it
_____
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
