You played a game of only pretending
You were to blame, and this is the ending
After tonight we say goodbye
I gave you all, it seemed to amuse you
Though in my heart I can’t bear to lose you
After tonight we say goodbye
How can I pretend I’m glad that 
We are parting this way
Yet it seems that I’ve been mad, 
But you’ll be sorry some day
Here is my love, the last glowing ember
Give me the kiss I’ll always remember
After tonight we say goodbye.
