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 deserved 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 and Like a star you played it so well (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 made me stronger now So take a bow Cause you've taken everything else (everything else) You played the part and Like a star you played it so well (played it so well) (oh oh oh) So take a bow (take a bow) Cause this scene is coming to an end I gave you love All you gave me was pretend (so now) 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 I put you out So take a bow (oh oh oh) Cause you've taken everything else (you've taken everything else) You played the part and Like a star you played it so well (played it so well, so well) Take a bow (oh) Cause this scene is coming to an end (yeah) I gave you love All you gave me was pretend (so now) So now Take a bow Take a bow (oh oh ooh) Cause you've taken everything else (yeah ah yeah) You played the part and (I gave you one more chance) Like a star you played it so well (played it so well) (I gave you all my love) Take a bow Cause this scene is coming to an end (the end) I gave you love All you gave me was pretend (ooh ooh ooh) So now (oh oh yeah) Take a bow
