Against All Odds Songtext
von 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′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

Ooh, take a look at me now
Well, 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 nothin' left here to remind me
Just the memory 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 gotta face

Take a good look at me now
′Cause I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It′s the chance I've gotta take

Take a look at me now
