Against All Odds
Phil Collins
From Against All Odds soundtrack

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
There´s nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face

Take a good look at me now
There´s just an empty space

And you coming back to me
Is against all the odds
And that´s what I got to take

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 good 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 good look at me now
´Cause I´ll still be standing there
And you coming back to me
Is against all the odds
And that´s what I got to take
