Phil Collins, Straight No Chaser - Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now) 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
Cos 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
Oh 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 all
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
So 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 gotta take

Take a look at me now
