Take a Bow

The flowers are faded now, along with your letters They will never see the light of day 'cause I'll never take them out And there's no turning back, it's for the better Baby, I deserve more than empty words and promises I believed everything you said And I gave you the best I had, oh So take a bow 'cause you've taken everything else You played the part, and like a star, you played it so well (played it so well) Take a bow 'cause this scene is comin' to an end I gave you love, all you gave me was pretend, so now take a bow And the future's about to change Before you know it, the curtain closes Take a look around, there's no one in the crowd I'm throwin' away the pain And you should know that your performance It made me stronger now So take a bow 'cause you've taken everything else You played the part, and like a star, you played it so well (played it so well) Take a bow 'cause this scene is comin' to an end I gave you love, all you gave me was pretend, so now take a bow Well there must've been sleight of hand 'Cause I still can't understand How I could never see just what a fool believes Mmh, but the lies, they start to show Tell me, how does it feel to know right now that I won't be around? So baby, before I put you out Take a bow 'cause you've taken everything else (you've taken everything else) You played the part, and like a star, you played it so well (so well) Take a bow 'cause this scene is comin' to an end I gave you love, all you gave me was pretend, so now Take a bow 'cause you've taken everything else You played the part (I gave you all my love, I gave you all my love) Take a bow 'cause this scene is comin' to an end I gave you love, all you gave me was pretend, so now take a bow Take a bow
