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 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.
and there's nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face.
oh, take a look at me now - 
there's just an empty space. 
and [bad word] 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,
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 is all I can do,
when that's what I've got to face.

take a good look at me now!
cause I'll still be standing here.
and [bad word] back to me is against all odds,
and that's the chance I've got to take.

take a look at me now.
take a look at me now.
