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 
Cos 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, 'cos there's just an empty space 
And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face 
Take a look at me now, 'cos there's just an empty space 
And you coming back to me is against all 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, 'cos there's just an empty space 
And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face 
Take a look at me now, 'cos 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, 'cos I'll still be standing here 
And you coming back to me is against all odds 
That's the chance I've got to take, oh, oho 

Just take a look at me now
