against all odds take a look at me now

Phil Collins

How can I just let you walk away?
Just let you leave without a trace?
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ohoo
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?
Cuz we 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
Cause there s just an empty space
And there s nothin left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now
Cuz there s just an empty space
And you comin back to me is against all odds
And that s what I ve gotta face, ohoo

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
Cuz there s just an empty space
And there s nothin left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now
Cus there s just an empty space
But to wait for you, well that s all I can do
And that s what I gotta face

Take a good look at me now
I ll still be standing here
And you comming back to me is against all odds
It s a chance I gotta take; ohoo

Take a look at me now
