Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now) Lyrics
[BLAINE]
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
Well, 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
Well, 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
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
Well, 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
Well, 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
Oh, so take a look at me now
Well, there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Now take a look at me now
'cos there's just an empty space, oh
But to wait for you
Is 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 (Oh, woah)
Take a look at me now
Oh, hmm
Well, there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Now take a look at me now
'cos there's just an empty space, oh
But to wait for you
Is 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 (Oh, woah)
Take a look at me now
Oh, hmm
