Against All Odds lyrics Phil Collins

Against All Odds Lyrics

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

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'
'cos 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
well
there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face.
Oh
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 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
'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

It's the chance I've got to take. - Take a look at me now.
