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, 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, who has just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face
Well take a look at me now, who has 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 to 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, who has 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 there's just an empty space

But to wait for you, is all I can do and that's what I've gotta 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 gotta take

Take a look at me now
