Against All Odds
Unveiling Heartache: Against All Odds by Stevan Micheo
Lyrics
How can I just let you walk away,
Expressing the difficulty of allowing someone to leave.
Just let you leave without a trace?
Highlighting the departure without leaving any traces or signs.
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh ooh
Emphasizing the intimate connection, sharing every breath.
You're the only one who really knew me at all
Acknowledging the person as the one who truly understood the singer.
How can you just walk away from me
Questioning the ease with which the person is leaving.
When all I can do is watch you leave?
Expressing helplessness in watching the departure despite shared experiences.
'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain
Recalling shared moments of joy and pain.
And even shared the tears
Referencing shared tears as a symbol of a deep connection.
You're the only one who really knew me at all
Reiterating the uniqueness of the understanding between the singer and the person.
So take a look at me now
Inviting the person to observe the current emotional state.
Well there's just an empty space
Describing the emptiness left by the person's departure.
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Noting the absence of reminders of the person.
Just the memory of your face
Reflecting on the memory of the person's face as the only lingering presence.
Take a look at me now
Repeating the call to observe the emotional aftermath.
Well there's just an empty space
Reiterating the theme of emptiness after the departure.
And you coming back to me is against the odds
Stating the improbability of the person returning.
And that's what I've got to face, oh
Acknowledging the challenging reality the singer must confront.
I wish I could just make you turn around
Expressing a desire for the person to reconsider and notice the emotional impact.
Turn around and see me cry
Requesting the person to witness the singer's emotional vulnerability.
There's so much I need to say to you
Expressing the need to communicate unspoken feelings.
So many reasons why
Enumerating the numerous reasons for the emotional turmoil.
You're the only one who really knew me at all
Reaffirming the person's unique understanding of the singer.
So take a look at me now
Revisiting the theme of an empty space and the absence of reminders.
Well there's just an empty space
Continuing to emphasize the emotional void left by the person.
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Reiterating the absence of tangible reminders.
Just the memory of your face
Highlighting the enduring memory of the person's face.
Take a look at me now
Repeatedly urging the person to observe the emotional aftermath.
Well there's just an empty space
Reiterating the persistent emptiness in the absence of the person.
But to wait for you is all I can do
Acknowledging the difficulty of waiting for the person's return.
And that's what I've got to face
Accepting the challenging reality of waiting against the odds.
Take a good look at me now
Encouraging a thorough observation of the singer's current state.
'Cause I'll still be standing here
Asserting resilience and continued presence despite the departure.
And you coming back to me is against the odds
Repeating the improbability of the person's return.
And it's what I've got to face
Acknowledging the necessity of facing the challenging reality.
Take a look at me now
Finalizing the call to observe the singer's current emotional state.
