Whoa 

How can I just let you walk away 
Just let you leave without a trace 
When I stand here taking every breath with you 
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 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 
'Cause there's just an empty space 
There's nothing left here to remind me 
Just the memory of your face 

So take a look at me now 
When there's just an empty space 
And you're comin' back to me is against all odds 
And that's what I've got to face 

I wish I could just make you turn around 
Turn around to 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 
There's just an empty space 
There's nothing left here to remind me 
Just the memory of your face 

So 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 got to face 

Take a good look at me now 
'Cause I'll be standing here 
And you comin' back to me 
Is against all odds 
It's the chance I've gotta 
Take 
Hey yeah 

Whoa 
Take a look at me now 
Mmmmh

... and on this album I have a remake of Phil  Collin's " Against All Odds " which is actually, because it was one of my favourite songs  growing up. 

When I saw him, we were both going to do this[show] and I didn't know if I was going to perform or not, I never met him, so I went up to him and said : 

 " Excuse me, mister Collins. Do you know I did  this song?  And I hope you don't hate it " and stuff like that.  And he was like: " I don't hate it  " and we talked about it and he stayed and 
watched my performance and he was really, really awfully nice about it and real excited about it. That was nice about him.
