How can I just let you walk away
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you
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
There's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face

Take a good look at me now
There's just an empty space

And you coming back to me
Is against all the odds
And that's what I 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
There's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face

Take a good look at me now
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
'Cause I'll still be standing there

And you coming back to me
Is against all the odds
That's the chance I've got to take
