Against all odds

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 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
well
there´s just an empty space
And there´s nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face.
Oh
take a look at me now
there´s just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the 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 got to take. - Take a look at me now.
