 x2
How  can I just let you walk  away
 Just let you leave  without a trace,
 When I stand  here taking every  breath with you, ooh.
 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.
 Oh 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.
 Oh 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
 Cause I'll still be standing  here,
 And you coming back  to me is against  all odds,
 It's the chance  I've got to take
 Take a look  at me now.
