Song lyrics
How can I just let you walk away, 
just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ohoo
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
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 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, 
'cos 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, 
'cos 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, 
'cos I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
Its the chance I've got to take .

Just take a look at me now

I feel like it's written for me -.O. It's actually perfect description of my current situation. Great song though.

Phil Collins takes third place at my top 10 voices ever, after Meine and Dio.
The astounding succession of his notes and the range of notes he is capable of singing just amazes me. Very expressive and sensitive song. The crescendo after the second refrain is awesome.
