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 pretense
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 throwing away the pain
And you should know that your performance made me stronger now

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 pretense,
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 won't be around, so baby before I put you out
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 pretense,
So now 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 pretense,
So now take a bow
