Take a Bow

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] I believed everything you said And I gave you the best I had Oh [Chorus] So take a bow 'Cause 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 give me was pretend So now Take a bow [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] So take a bow 'Cause 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 give me was pretend So now Take a bow [Bridge] Well it must of been slight 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 it feels to know right now that I won't be around So baby, before I put you out [Chorus] 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 the scene is coming to an end I gave you love All you give me was pretend So now... Take a bow 'Cause you've taken everything else You played the part (I gave you all my love) And like a star you played it so well (I gave you all my love) 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 [Outro] Take a bow
