The term melodrama refers to a dramatic work that exaggerates plot and characters in order to appeal to the emotions. It may also refer to the genre which includes such works, or to language, behavior, or events which resemble them. It is usually based around having the same character traits, e.g. a hero (always the fearless one), heroine (the love of the hero, usually the one that the hero saves), villain (usually likes the heroine too) and villain's sidekick (typically gets in the way of the Villain). It is also used in scholarly and historical musical contexts to refer to dramas of the 18th and 19th centuries in which orchestral music or song was used to accompany the action. The term originated from the early 19th-century French word mélodrame, which is derived from Greek melos, music, and French drame, drama (from Late Latin drāma, which in turn derives from Greek drān, to do, perform). An alternative English spelling, now obsolete, is "melodrame".
Goodbye Jane, Goodbye
What did we do to lose our magic world
And what did you mean when you said nothing at all
If I wrote this lifetime you would be tragic girl
Cuz that's how this story ends
So, Goodbye Jane, Goodbye
And goodbye to the games that we play, it's the same
damn pain every single
day
You fly through the sky in a plane and I'm stuck in a
broken down subway
train
I never said a word to myself or to you, when you left
me alone and you left
me so blue
But now I have one more word for you
Goodbye Jane, Goodbye
For so many years I was under the shadow of our bliss
A crushing moon eclipsed our sun and it's this that I
still miss
The landscape of my heart is now under the stars, I
wish for everything you
are
But now my old dreams are turning dark
What did we do to lose our magic world
And what did you mean when you said nothing at all
I never said a word to myself or to you, when you left
me alone and you left
me blue
But now I have one more word for you
Goodbye Jane, Goodbye
