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 suddenly fell out of love So one takes the bow, one takes the blame It won't be easy to throw away so many years in smile But don't feel guilty we gave that 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 ones 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 the [?] the same, ain't that a shame? When we get lonely and [?] will 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 and I'll take the blame You take the bow and I'll take the blame
