Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)

Yeah i know this is an old song. I was reminded of it when I watched Forces of Nature (Sandra Bullock and Ben Affleck). Yet I'm realizing the meaning just now and thinking that somehow it applies to me recently. It tells me also that most of the times I focus more on the rythm but not the thought of the song.

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'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, 'cos 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, 'cos there's just an empty space

And you coming back to me is 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, 'cos 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, 'cos there's just an empty space

But to wait for you, well that's 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

That's the chance I've got to take, oh, oho
Just take a look at me now
