Against All Odds
By Phil Collins

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

Just take a look at me now,
'cos there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds
And that's the chance I've got to take, ooh yeah

I wish I could just make you turn around,
Just 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 face, oh, oho

Just take a look at me now, ooh ooh
