Lyrics
How can I just let you walk away,
Questioning how to allow someone to depart without a clear indication of their departure.
Just let you leave without a trace?
Expressing the feeling of someone leaving without leaving any signs or clues.
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh ooh
Stating the intimacy shared, feeling closely connected and dependent on the other person.
You're the only one who really knew me at all
Acknowledging that the departing person is the only one who truly understood them.
How can you just walk away from me
Expressing disbelief and surprise at the departure.
When all I can do is watch you leave?
Feeling helpless and only able to witness the departure.
'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain
Recalling shared moments of joy and sorrow with the departing person.
And even shared the tears
Sharing emotional experiences, including tears.
You're the only one who really knew me at all
Reiterating that the departing person truly understood them.
So take a look at me now
Reflecting on the current state, indicating a void or emptiness.
Well there's just an empty space
Describing the space left by the departure, feeling devoid of something important.
And there's nothing left here to remind me
There's nothing tangible remaining to serve as a reminder except memories.
Just the memory of your face
The only thing left is the recollection of the person's face in memory.
Take a look at me now
Repeating the sense of emptiness and void caused by the departure.
Well there's just an empty space
Reiterating the feeling of an empty space left behind.
And you coming back to me is against the odds
Expressing that the person returning is unlikely given the unfavorable circumstances.
And that's what I've got to face, oh
Acknowledging the harsh reality that needs to be accepted.
I wish I could just make you turn around
Desiring the departed person to look back and notice the emotional pain.
Turn around and see me cry
Wishing for acknowledgment of the emotions and distress.
There's so much I need to say to you
Expressing the need to communicate feelings and reasons for the departure.
So many reasons why
Having numerous explanations and justifications to share.
You're the only one who really knew me at all
Reaffirming that the departing person truly understood them.
So take a look at me now
Repeating the sense of emptiness caused by the departure.
Well there's just an empty space
Highlighting the void or absence left after the departure.
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Reiterating the lack of physical reminders except memories.
Just the memory of your face
Only memories of the person's face remain.
Take a look at me now
Emphasizing the emptiness experienced due to the departure.
Well there's just an empty space
Continuing to depict the void left behind.
But to wait for you is all I can do
Accepting that waiting for the person's return is the only option.
And that's what I've got to face
Recognizing the challenging reality of waiting against unfavorable odds.
Take a good look at me now
Urging the departing person to observe the perseverance despite the departure.
'Cause I'll still be standing here
Committing to standing firm despite the departure.
And you coming back to me is against the odds
Expressing that the person's return is improbable given the unfavorable circumstances.
And it's what I've got to face
Reiterating the need to confront and accept the challenging reality.
Take a look at me now
Encouraging a reflection on the current state, emphasizing the impact of the departure.
