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
Because 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,

because there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face

Take a look at me now,
because there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me

is against all 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,

'cos there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face

Take a look at me now,
'cos 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 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, oh, oho
