Against All Odds
Jeff Leyton Lyrics

How can I just let you walk away,
I can't bear the thought of you leaving

Just let you leave without a trace?
Without any sign of your presence, how will I survive?

When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh ooh
Being with you is the same as breathing for me

You're the only one who really knew me at all
Only you understand the inner workings of my heart and soul

How can you just walk away from me
Your departure is too much for me to handle

When all I can do is watch you leave?
I feel powerless to stop you from leaving me behind

'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain
We've been through everything together, the good and the bad

And even shared the tears
We've both shed tears for each other's pain and sorrow

So take a look at me now
This is what I've become without you by my side

Well there's just an empty space
There's nothing left for me without you here

And there's nothing left here to remind me
I can't even hold onto the memories now that you're gone

Just the memory of your face
Your face is the only thing I have left of you

And you coming back to me is against the odds
The chance of you coming back to me is slim

And that's what I've got to face, oh
This is a harsh reality I must accept

I wish I could just make you turn around
I long for you to come back to me

Turn around and see me cry
So you can see how much I'm hurting without you

There's so much I need to say to you
I have so many things left unsaid

So many reasons why
I need to explain why I need you in my life

But to wait for you is all I can do
Waiting for you is the only thing left for me

And that's what I've got to face
I have to accept that waiting is all there is

'Cause I'll still be standing here
Even if you never come back, I'll still be alive

And it's what I've got to face
This is the reality of my situation

Take a look at me now
See the damage that's been done, without you and without hope
