How can I just let you walk a-way,
Just let you leave with-out a trace?
When I stand here taking ev'ry breath with you: ooh,
you're the only one who really know 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, well,
there's just an empty space.
And there's nothing left to remind me,
just the mem'ry of your face.
Well, take a look at me now,

well, there's just an empty space.
And you comin' back to me is against the odds,
and that's what Ive 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.
And there's nothing left to remind me,
just the mem'ry of your face.
Well, take a look at me now,

'cause there's just an empty space.
But to wait for you is all I can do,
and that what I've got to face.
Take a good look at me now.

'cause I'll still be standing here.
And you comin' back to me is against all odds,
it's the chance I've got to take
Take a look at me now.
