Lyrics
[verse]
You put on quite the performance, had me fooled for quite a while
Every word rehearsed to perfect, every practiced smile
But the curtain finally dropped and now I see it clear
This whole thing was just a show you staged right here
[chorus]
So take a bow, take a bow
The show is over now, take a bow
You had your standing ovation, had your moment in the light
Take a bow and take your exit, say goodnight
[verse]
All the lines you fed me sounded good up on the stage
But real love isn't scripted, real love doesn't need a page
Now the lights are coming up and I can finally see
This was never real, it was just a scene
[chorus]
So take a bow, take a bow
The show is over now, take a bow
You had your standing ovation, had your moment in the light
Take a bow and take your exit, say goodnight
[bridge]
No more encores, no more calling me back
The curtain's closing, there's no turning back
[chorus]
So take a bow, take a bow
The show is over now, take a bow
You had your standing ovation, had your moment in the light
Take a bow and take your exit, say goodnight
