Lyrics

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 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'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  
Well 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 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  
'Cause that'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 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
