Take a Bow
Unveiling the Theatrics of Goodbyes
Lyrics
See your reasons in your conciense too,
Reflect on your reasons and conscience.
Save your stories for somebody new,
Keep your stories for someone else.
I know your one in a million but that ain't enough for me,
Recognize that being unique (one in a million) isn't sufficient for me.
How was I supposed to know it was all a show.
Expressing confusion about not realizing it was all a performance.
So baby take a bow,
Encouraging the person to acknowledge their actions with a gesture of taking a bow.
Smile for the crowd,
Smile for the onlookers.
I'm already over your crying shoulder,
Indicate emotional detachment, already moving on from the person's tears.
So you go your way and I'll do the same.
Emphasize the separation of paths; each going their own way.
Take your memories they just wash away,
Suggest letting go of memories as they fade away.
In your diaries you can make what you did ok.
Implying the ability to justify actions in personal writings (diaries).
How was I supposed to know, it was all a show
Reiterating the surprise at realizing it was all a facade.
So baby take a bow,
Repeat of the suggestion to acknowledge the situation with a bow.
Smile for the crowd,
Reiterate to smile for the audience, maintaining a positive facade.
I'm already over your crying shoulder,
Reaffirm emotional detachment and moving on from the person's distress.
You go your way, you should really,
Urge the person to go their own way.
Take a bow, smile for the crowd
Repeat the call to take a bow and smile for the crowd.
Cause I am over your crying shoulder,
Declare independence from the emotional burden represented by the crying shoulder.
You go your way and I'll do the same.
Reiterate the separation of paths.
Do you even hear yourself or half the things you say,
Question the person's self-awareness and the impact of their words.
Do you even know the lives you fought away,
Ask if the person realizes the negative consequences of their actions on lives.
So baby take a bow,
Repeat the call for the person to take a bow.
Smile for the crowd,
Reiterate the suggestion to smile for the audience.
I'm already over your crying shoulder,
Affirm emotional detachment and moving on from the person's distress.
You go your way, you should really,
Encourage the person to go their own way.
Take a bow, smile for the crowd
Repeat the call to take a bow and smile for the crowd.
Cause I am already over your crying shoulder,
Reiterate independence from the emotional burden of the crying shoulder.
You go your way you should really,
Emphasize the continuation of separate paths.
Take a bow,
Repeat the suggestion to take a bow.
Smile for the crowd,
Reiterate to smile for the audience.
Cause I am over your crying shoulder,
Affirm emotional detachment and moving on from the person's distress.
So you go your way and I'll do the same.
Conclude by affirming the continuation of separate paths.
