how can I just let you walk away
just let you leave without a trace?
when I stand here taking every breath
with you, oooou
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
This song always reminds me of someone, and even after 6 years, remains as one of my all time favourite songs. Phil Collins wrote this while he was going through a divorce, and it really shows in the words. Truly genius. Its amazing how you can say so much in just a few words
