Against All Odds

written 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, oo-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?
'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
And take a look at me now
There's just an empty space
And you coming back to me
Is against the odds
And that's what I've gotta 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
And take a look at me now
See, there's just an empty space
But, to wait for you is all I can do
And that's what I've gotta face

Take a good look at me now
'Cause I'll still be standing here (standing here)
And you coming back to me
Is against all odds
And that's a chance I've gotta take
Chance I've gotta take
Gotta take

Take a look at me now
Take a look at me now
Take a look at me now
