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
|
'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
|
There's just an empty space
|
And there's nothing left here to remind me
|
Just the memory of your face
|
Now 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
|
There's just an empty space
|
There's nothing left here to remind me
|
Just the memory of your face
|
Now take a look at me now
|
'Cause there's just an empty space
|
But to wait for you is all I can do
|
And it'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
|
It's a chance I've got to take
|
|
Take a look at me now
|
