Lyrics

AGAINST ALL ODDS (TAKE A LOOK AT ME NOW)
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
'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
Well there's just an empty space
There's nothin' left here to remind me
Just a mem'ry of your face

Well, take a look at me now
Well, there's just an empty space
And you coming back
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
Well there's nothin' left here to remind me
Just a mem'ry of your face

Now take a look at me now
'Cause 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
It's hard to 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
