"Take A Bow" lyrics

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 have been sleight of hand
'Cause I still can't understand
How I could never see
Just what a fool believed

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 coming 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 life
And like a star you played it so well
I gave you all my love

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
Take a bow
