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
cause 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
there's just an empty space
and there's nothing left here to remind me
just a memory of your face
so take a look at me now
there's just an empty space
and you coming back to me
is against all odds
and that's what I have got to take

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
there's just an empty space
and there's nothing left here to remind me
just a memory of your face

Take a look at me now
There's just an empty space
But to wait for you
Well that's all I can do
And that's what I've got to face

Take a good look at me now
Cause all I am is just standing here
And you coming back to me
Is against all odds
That's a change I've got to take

Take a good look at me now
