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

So take a bow

‘Cause you've taken everything else

You played the part

And like a star you played it so well

Take a bow

‘Cause this scene is coming to an end

I gave you love

All you gave me was pretend

So now

Take a bow

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 throwing 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

Take a bow

‘Cause this scene is coming to an end

I gave you love

All you gave me was pretend

So now

Take a bow

Well it must of been sleight of hand

‘Cause I still can't understand

How I could never see

Just what a fool believes

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

So take a bow

‘Cause you've taken everything else

You played the part

And like a star you played it so well

Take a bow

‘Cause this scene is coming to an end

I gave you love

All you gave me was pretend

So now

Take a bow

So take a bow

‘Cause you've taken everything else

You played the part

And like a star you played it so well

Take a bow

‘Cause this scene is coming to an end

I gave you love

All you gave me was pretend

So now

Take a bow

So take a bow
