Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)

Not surprisingly, I'm both really angry, and really sad about my relationship ending. I tend to really feel my emotions deeply, which has its upsides, and its downsides.

Lucky for me, my internal jukebox landed on a perfect song to express both of those feelings this morning (thanks Phil!):

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
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 all 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

Alas, I think I've said all the things I needed to say to him, and it wasn't enough.

And as for waiting for him to come back to me, I'm trying to tell myself not to do that because I don't really know that it would be the best outcome for all of us.

But I reckon that there's a part of me that will never listen to logic on that score...
