When it's over God knows as well as we did When we pack up Stack up what's her's and what's his
When we make up The stories to cover up the shame They never will believe we simply fell out of love So one takes the bow, one takes the blame
It won't be easy To throw away so many years and smile But don't feel guilty We gave it our best for a while
But the story We tell our friends must always be the same 'Cause they never would believe it was really no one's fault One takes the bow, one takes the blame
One takes the bow, one takes the blame That's the way you have to play the game Your friends meet someone, they can talk about and blame And God forbid, that my friends need the same Ain't that a shame?
When we get lonely And lonely we'll get now and then Just remember That somewhere we both still have a friend
Love's not forever And ours went as gently as it came So for all the years I loved you and you know I really loved you You take the bow, I'll take the blame You take the bow, I'll take the blame
