The flowers are faded now, along with your letters They will never see the light of day, cause I'll never take them out There's no turning back, it's for the better Baby I deserve more then empty words and promises I believed every thing you said, and I gave you the best I had So take a bow, 'cause you've taken everything else You played the part, like a star you played it so well Take a bow, 'cause the 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 preformance made me strong enough So take a bow, 'cause you've taken everything else You played the part, like a star you played it so well Take a bow, 'cause the scene is coming to an end I gave you love, all you gave me was pretend, so now take a bow Well it must have been slight of hand, 'cause I still can't understand Why 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 wont be around, so baby before what happenes Take a bow, 'cause you've taken everything else You played the part, like a star you played it so well Take a bow, 'cause the scene is coming to an end I gave you love, all you give me was pretend, so now take a bow X2
