Phil Collins – Against All Odds lyrics

Phil Collins – Against All Odds lyrics

How can I just let you walk away - just let you leave without a trace?
When I stand here taking every breath with you, oooo
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'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 - well, 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, well, there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the 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

So take a look at me now, well, there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me - just the memory of your face
Now, 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 still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds - it's the chance I've got to take

Take a look at me, now

Oh, well, Daniel, this one is 4 you. I hope nothing but happiness 4 you. Blessings, and if you let me and don't hate me tooo much, I send you a big kiss. I'll always have you in my thoughts and heart, and yes, "u were the only one who really knew me", you see, I still interest you, even if it wasn't really me. You know I loved you. Sorry, for everything wrong and also 4 this, but I just needed you to know how I still feel, to read this words that I am making mine, and I wanted to find out if you were alright. You are, forgive me, now I can go on with my life. I guess I needed closure because "u coming back to me is against the odds". Ah, let's keep this just between the "two of us", nobody needs to know. Bye, yours, me (you know who, the one and only).

I feel for you, the1n-only. No I am not this Daniel, but I am somewhat in your boat. My brother was some one I looked up to and loved very much- still do. But then one evening, while he was out with some friends, called at midnight and said he was never coming home. I still some times cry because of that night. He still hasn't come back. But now I am able to make it through those songs that remind me of him. You know what happens. Occasionally, just when you think you got over the big heart break, some song that never bothered you before is suddenly making you cry and miss them. Thanks for reading. And letting me get this out. -- tt.

Sly I know that when you see this message you'll know it's me. I just want you to know that the lyrics is just exactly what I am looking forward to in my life. I know that it's impossible with us but don't worry, "No pressure!" I am happy for us. I am happy for you too. But still no matter what, nothing can ever change my heart for what I feel for you. Love you still, God knows I do!

Love of my life, TWBPJ waited for you and cried every day for three years. Missed my friend, family and thought my lifetime partner, husband. Even after decades it still is unbelievable my most trusted friend could lie, cheat, betray and humiliate me. I trusted you with my heart, soul and life-if someone had told me the story of how you would end the relationship-still I waited hoped "Against all odds" you would apologize and as we promised could be friends. I was the "light" the one who believed in you - Against all odds you became wildly successful - Still miss my friend the person who, had my back and promised to never hurt me. Never questioned your loyalty and trusted you. Ask you to fill in the blanks after all these years - I deserve the truth - Survived Against All Odds even though you broke my heart - still hurts after decades.

Over 26 years ago, I loved someone very much as we worked together on a casino boat. The boat was the President Casino on the Admiral that closed in 2010. He used to take my hand and walk with me and kiss me when the day ended at the end of the block, I found out he was married and life hurt so much. The wife called and claimed the love of my life but assured me he loved me and ONLY married her because of the son. Against All Odds is the song that fits because he chose to stay with the wife and I left. Years of hurt and grief ....Work in progress!!!
