How can I just let you walk away?

Just let you leave without a trace?

When I stand here taking

Every breath with you

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?

'Cos 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

There's just an empty space

There's nothing left here to remind me

Just a memory of your face

So 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 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

There's nothing left here to remind me

Just the memory of your face

Take a look at me now

So 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

'Cos I'll still be standing here

And you coming back to me is against all odds

That's the chance I've got to take

(Chance I've got to take, got to take)

So take a look at me now

Take a look at me now

Take a look at me now
