Against All Odds Lyrics - Singles - Phill Collins

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'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 

'Cause 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 

'Cause 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 

'Cause 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 

'Cause 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 

I'll still be standing here 

And you coming back to me is against all odds 

And that's the chance I've gotta take 

Just take a look at me now
