Against the odds

Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)

Lyrics:Phil Collins Music: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

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

Who has just an empty space

And there's nothing left here to remind me

Just a memory of your face

Well take a look at me now

There's just an empty space

And you comin' 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

Who has just an empty space

And there's nothing left here to remind me

Just a memory of your face

Now take a look at me now

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 look at me now

Take a look at me now

And you comin' back to me is against the odds

Is the chance I've gotta take

Take a look at me now
