Against all odds (take a look at me now)

How can I just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You´re the only one who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me,
when all I can do is watch you leave
Cos we´ve shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears
You´re the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now, oh there´s just an empty space
And there´s nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face
Ooh take a look at me now, well there´s just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds and that´s what I´ve got to face
I wish I could just make you turn around,
turn around and see me cry
There´s so much I need to say to you,
so many reasons why
You´re the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now, well there´s just an empty space
And there´s nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Now take a look at me now, cos there´s just an empty space
But to wait for you, is all I can do and that´s what I´ve got to face
Take a good look at me now, cos I´ll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It´s the chance I´ve gotta take
Take a look at me now
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You´re the only one who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me,
when all I can do is watch you leave
Cos we´ve shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears
You´re the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now, oh there´s just an empty space
And there´s nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face
Ooh take a look at me now, well there´s just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds and that´s what I´ve got to face
I wish I could just make you turn around,
turn around and see me cry
There´s so much I need to say to you,
so many reasons why
You´re the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now, well there´s just an empty space
And there´s nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Now take a look at me now, cos there´s just an empty space
But to wait for you, is all I can do and that´s what I´ve got to face
Take a good look at me now, cos I´ll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It´s the chance I´ve gotta take
Take a look at me now
