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 look at me now 
there's just an empty space 
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 

Take a look at me now 
There's just an empty space 
And to wait for you is all I can do 
And that's what I've got to face 

Take a look at me now 
I'll just be standing here 
And you coming back to me 
Is against the odds 
And that's a chance I've got to face 

So take a look at me now 
Take a look at me now 
Take a look at me now 
Take a look at me now 
Take a look at me now 
Take a look at me now 
Take a look at me now 
Take a look at me now

1,892 posts	I liked it how they sort of reshaped the whole song and made it a fine cover. And it really does start kicking when the beat's in. I'm sure this song will create a lot of doscussion for and against. But I like it. I reckon Mariah Carey's version (and lets not forget what it was when they added Westlife) was way worse than this.
