How can I just let you walk away?
Just let you leave without a trace.
When I stand here taking every breath with you,
oh, 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 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!
Well, there's 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!
Well, there's just an empty space.

And you coming back to me
it's against the odds
and that's what I've got to face.

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.

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.

Well, take a look at me now!
Well, 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.

Take a good look at me now
because I'll still be standing here.

And you coming back to me
it's against all odds,
it's the chance I've got to take.

Take a look at me now.
