Lyrics
When it's over, 'n' God knows as well as we it is
When we pack up, 'n' stack up what's hers 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 need 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 and I'll take the blame
You take the bow and I'll take the blame
