Phil Collins – Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now) Lyrics | SongMeanings

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?
‘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
Well there’s just an empty space
And there’s nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Ooh, take a look at me now
Well there’s just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the 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
Well there’s just an empty space
And there’s nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face

Now take a look at me now
‘Cause that’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
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It’s the chance I’ve got to take

Take a look at me now

How can I just let you walk awayJust let you leave without a trace?When I stand here taking every breath with you, oohYou’re the only one who really knew me at allHow can you just walk away from meWhen all I can do is watch you leave?’Cause we’ve shared the laughter and the painAnd even shared the tearsYou’re the only one who really knew me at allSo take a look at me nowWell there’s just an empty spaceAnd there’s nothing left here to remind meJust the memory of your faceOoh, take a look at me nowWell there’s just an empty spaceAnd you coming back to me is against the oddsAnd that’s what I’ve got to faceI wish I could just make you turn aroundTurn around and see me cryThere’s so much I need to say to youSo many reasons whyYou’re the only one who really knew me at allSo take a look at me nowWell there’s just an empty spaceAnd there’s nothing left here to remind meJust the memory of your faceNow take a look at me now’Cause that’s just an empty spaceBut to wait for you is all I can doAnd that’s what I’ve gotta faceTake a good look at me now’Cause I’ll still be standing hereAnd you coming back to me is against all oddsIt’s the chance I’ve got to takeTake a look at me now
