[Verse 1: 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?
Cuz we shared the laughter and the pain
And even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all
[Chorus]
So take a look at me now
Cuz there's just an empty space
There's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of a face
So take a look at me now
When there's just an empty space
And you comin' back to me is against all odds
And that's what i've gotta face
[Verse 2: 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
[Chorus: 2 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 a face
So take a look at me now
When there's just an empty space
But to wait for you is all i can do and that's what i've gotta face
[Verse 3: 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 gotta take
Take a look at me now
