How can I just let you walk away
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking
Every breath with youYou'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 allSo 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 faceTake a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all 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
'Cause there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your faceTake a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
But to wait for you is
All I can doAnd that's what I've got to 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
That's the chance I've qot to takeTake a look at me now
