Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

Take a look at me now

Well, 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, oh

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

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

'Cause 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

[Chorus]

Take a good look at me now

'Cause I'll still be standing here

And you comin' back to me is against all odds

And that's what I've got to face, oh

Take a look at me now
