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 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 preformance made me strong enough

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 pretend,
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 it happen to you

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 pretend,
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 pretend,
so now take a bow

First Verse.

Take a look, look into my eyes
You’ll see someone you don’t recognize
You’ll see someone who looks like me
But I’m not the me I used to be
Found I could fall, but I could get up
And after all, I could hold my head up
I made it out, I made it through
I’m someone now, I’m someone new
But you could say you knew me then
You could say you knew me when

Chorus:

You knew me when I was on the edge
And my confidence was shattered
You knew me when I didn’t know my worth
Didn’t know how much I mattered
You knew me when you thought you could keep me down, no
You knew me when, you knew me then
But you don’t know me now

Second Verse:

You look surprised to see I’ve changed
But I’ve turned the key and I’ve turned the page
Stepped out the dark into the sun
To a whole new me that I’ve become
I was scared, had so much fear then
Now I’m free, now I’m fearless
Took too much for too long
I’m someone now, I’m someone strong
And you could say you knew me then
You could say you knew me when

Chorus:
You knew me when I was on the edge
And my confidence was shattered
You knew me when I didn’t know my worth
Didn’t know how much I mattered
You knew me when you thought you could keep me down, no
You knew me when, you knew me then
But you don’t know me now

Bridge:

I’m a little wiser, reaching higher
It’s a battle but I’m a fighter
This time there’ll be no surrender, no
And you could say you knew me then
You could say you knew me when

Chorus

You knew me when I was on the edge
And my confidence was shattered
You knew me when I didn’t know my worth
Didn’t know how much I mattered
You knew me when you thought you could keep me down, no
You knew me when
You knew me when, you knew me then
But you don’t know me now
You knew me when, you knew me then
But you don’t know me now
