Against All Odds(Take A Look At Me Now)
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’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
Oh 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
‘Cause there’s just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds
And that’s what Ive got to face
I wish I could 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 a me now
‘Cause 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
‘Cause there’s just an empty space
But to wait for you is
All I can do
And that’s what Ive got to face
Take a good look at me now
‘Cause there’s I’ll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against
All odds
That’s the chance Ive got to take
Take a look at me now
I watched as AJ packed up the rest of his things. He was moving out. I felt my nose begin to tingle and my eyes got watery. I loved AJ so much, and I dont understand why he didnt love me.
"Bye," he said taking one last look at me before he walked out the door. I watched as he walked to his car. I should run after him and beg him to stay, but it's been done. He doesnt want me. I felt a tear slide down my cheek as he pulled away. This is it. There's no more AJ and Marissa, but who knows, maybe again one day he'll realize what he's missing and come back to me.
Yeah, maybe he'll stop and wonder what he was thinking when he walked out on the best thing of his life. I felt my heart break, because I knew that was against all odds.
