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
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
'Cause there's just an empty space
There's nothin' left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
So take a look at me now
When there's just an empty space
And you comin' back to me is against the odds
And that's what I've got to face
I wish I could just make ya 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
When there's just an empty space
And there's nothin' left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
So take a look at me now
So 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 here (standing here)
And you comin' back to me is against all odds
That's a chance I've got to take (a chance I've got to take, got to take)
Take a look at me now
Take a look at me now
Take a look at me now
Writer(s): Phil Collins
