How can I just let you walk away
Just leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath
With you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at allHow 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 allSo take a look at me now
There's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just a memory of your faceSo take a look at me now
There's just an empty space
And you coming back to me
Is against the odds
And that's what I've got to faceI 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 allSo take a look at me now
There's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just a memory of your faceTake a look at me now
There's just an empty space
But to wait for you
Well, that's all I can do
And that's what I've got to faceTake a good look at me now
'Cause oh, I'll just be standing here
And you coming back to me
Is against all odds
That's a chance I've got to take
Take a good look at me now
