Against All Odds
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
How can I just let you walk away
Just let you leave without a trace?
When I stand here taking every breath
With you... Ohhhh...
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
There's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now
There's just an empty space
You comming back to me is against the odds
And thats 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
Take a look at me now
There's just an empty space
But to wait for you is all I can do
And that's what I've got to face
Take a look at me now
I'll just be standing here
You comming back to me is against the odds
And thats a chance I've got to face.
Take a look at me now...
