Against All Odds
Love's Resilience in Emptiness: Against All Odds
Lyrics
How can I just let you walk away
Expressing the difficulty in allowing someone to leave.
Just let you leave without a trace
Letting the person depart without any evidence or indication.
When I stand here taking every breath with you
Acknowledging being deeply connected and sharing every moment with the individual.
You're the only one who really knew me at all
Highlighting that the person departing truly understood the singer.
How can you just walk away from me
Expressing disbelief at the person leaving without a clear reason.
When all I can do is watch you leave
Feeling helpless and only able to witness their departure.
'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain
Recalling shared moments of joy and sorrow together.
And even shared the tear
Even during moments of tears, the connection was shared.
You're the only one who really knew me at all
Reiterating that the departing person truly understood the singer.
So take a look at me now
Inviting the person to see the singer's current state.
'Cause there's just an empty space
Emphasizing the void or absence left behind by their departure.
There's nothing left here to remind me
There's nothing tangible that reminds of the person, just memories.
Just the memory of your face
Only the memory of the person's face remains.
So take a look at me now
Repeating the invitation for the person to see the void they left.
'Cause there's just an empty space
Stressing the emptiness felt due to their absence.
And you coming back to me is against the odds
Expressing the unlikelihood of the person returning.
And that's what I've got to face
Accepting the difficult reality of the situation.
I wish I could just make you turn around
Wishing for the person to notice the emotions and distress.
Turn around and see me cry
Desiring for the person to witness the singer's sorrow.
There's so much I need to say to you
Feeling the urgency to communicate many thoughts to the person.
So many reasons why
There are numerous reasons and feelings that need to be expressed.
You're the only one who really knew me at all
Reiterating that the departing person truly understood the singer.
So take a look at me now
Re-inviting the person to see the impact of their absence.
And there's just an empty space
Highlighting the emptiness and void left behind.
There's nothing left here to remind me
Nothing physically present to trigger memories except the face.
Just the memory of your face
Only the memory of the person's face remains.
So take a look at me now
Repeating the invitation to witness the emptiness.
?Cause there?s just an empty space
Reiterating the profound void left by the departure.
But to wait for you is all I can do
Waiting for the person's return is the only option available.
And that?s what I?ve got to face
Accepting the challenging reality of waiting.
Take a good look at me now
Encouraging the person to observe the singer's resilience.
?Cause l?ll still be standing here
Promising to remain strong despite the circumstances.
And you coming back to me is against all odds
Acknowledging the unlikeliness of the person's return.
That?s the chance I?ve got to take
Understanding that hoping for their return is a risky choice.
Oh, take a look at me now
Inviting once more to witness the impact of their absence.
