Against all odds

un caffè, una sigaretta, qualche pensiero che va e viene in una disconnessione di intenti paurosa...e forse un'unica consapevolezza, la certezza che strazia, che aiuta, che ti porta via....

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 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 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.
'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
and that's what I've got to face.
Just take a look at me now.
Just take a look at me now.
