so suddenly i am a Leona Lewis fan. shes this awesome brit singer with a powerful voice. past few weeks while i was Ipod-less, i had been going through my song library which by the way is now 14 gb huge! i ended up stumbling on her songs. it happens to me, there are many songs on my library i've never heard, sourced from friends and friends of friends. =)
so back to the topic. this song just caught me. lyrics ok not my style of song writting, i prefer happier themes, but music and her voice blew me! you have to listen to belive the awesomeness of her talent! for the past week or so only thing i am singing is this song called "take a bow" it doesnt have a video (that i know of) so might have missed it on the tv. her other song "bleeding love" is equally amazing.
so the lyrics...
The flowers are all faded now
Along with your letters
They will never see the light of day
Cause I'll never take them out
and there's no turning back
it's for the better
baby I deserve more than empty words and promises
I believed every thing you said and I gave you the best I had
Oh.
[Chorus:]
So take a bow.
Cause you've taken everything else
You played the part
and like a star you played it so well
Take a bow
Cause this 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 performance
it Made me stronger now
[Chorus:]
So take a bow.
Cause you've taken everything else
You played the part
and like a star you played it so well
Take a bow
Cause this 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 sleight hand
Cause I still can't understand
how I could never see
Just what a fool believed
but the lies they start to show
tell me how it feels to know right now
that I wont be around
so baby before I put you out
[Chorus: x2]
take a bow.
Cause you've taken everything else
You played the part
and like a star you played it so well
Take a bow
Cause this scene is coming to an end
I gave you love. All you
gave me was pretend
so now
Take a bow
take a bow
Along with your letters
They will never see the light of day
Cause I'll never take them out
and there's no turning back
it's for the better
baby I deserve more than empty words and promises
I believed every thing you said and I gave you the best I had
Oh.
[Chorus:]
So take a bow.
Cause you've taken everything else
You played the part
and like a star you played it so well
Take a bow
Cause this 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 performance
it Made me stronger now
[Chorus:]
So take a bow.
Cause you've taken everything else
You played the part
and like a star you played it so well
Take a bow
Cause this 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 sleight hand
Cause I still can't understand
how I could never see
Just what a fool believed

[Chorus: x2]
take a bow.
Cause you've taken everything else
You played the part
and like a star you played it so well
Take a bow
Cause this scene is coming to an end
I gave you love. All you
gave me was pretend
so now
Take a bow
take a bow
