Bye Bye Love
Farewell to Love: Exploring Heartache and Liberation in Roy Orbison's 'Bye Bye Love'
Lyrics
Bye bye love bye bye happiness
Expressing farewell to both love and happiness.
Hello loneliness I think Im gonna cry
Acknowledging the onset of loneliness and the emotional response of crying.
Bye bye my love goodbye
Reiterating the farewell to the speaker's love.
There goes my baby with someone new
Observing the speaker's former partner with a new romantic interest.
She sure looks happy I sure am blue
Contrasting the partner's apparent happiness with the speaker's own sadness.
She was my baby tlll he stepped in
Reflecting on the past when the person mentioned was the speaker's significant other.
Goodbye to romance that might have been
Bidding farewell to a potential romantic relationship that never materialized.
Bye bye love bye bye sweet caress
Saying goodbye to love and the comforting touch of a loved one.
Hello emptiness I feel like I could die
Expressing the feeling of emptiness and a sense of emotional despair.
Bye bye my love goodbye
Repeating the farewell to the speaker's love.
Im free from romance Im through with love
Declaring freedom from romantic entanglements and a decision to avoid love.
Im through with counting the stars above
Rejecting the act of counting stars, symbolizing a rejection of romantic fantasies.
And heres the reason that Im so free
Explaining that the speaker's newfound freedom is due to their partner ending the relationship.
My loving baby is through with me
Highlighting the end of the speaker's romantic relationship by stating their partner is no longer in love with them.
Bye bye love bye bye happiness
Repeating the farewell to both love and happiness.
Hello loneliness I think Im gonna cry
Acknowledging loneliness again and expressing a potential emotional response of crying.
Bye bye my love goodbye
Reiterating the final goodbye to the speaker's love.
Bye bye my love goodbye
Concluding the song with a repeated farewell to the speaker's love.
