…and the story goes…

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’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

Oh 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

‘Cause there’s just an empty space

If you’re coming back to me it’s against all 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

‘Cause 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

‘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

‘Cause I’ll be standing here

And you coming back to me is against all odds

That’s the chance I’ve got to take

Take a look at me now
