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, oh there's just an empty space
And there's nothin' left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Ooh, 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 nothin' left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Now take a look at me now, 'cos 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, 'cos I'll still be standin' here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It's the chance I've gotta take
Take a look at me now

I know this song was not ment for this but... while working for a dog rescue, having to look at all the dogs given away and throwen out by owners after years, this song played and looking at their sad faces this became the song that will always make me think this is what they would say if they could. Please take care of your pets forever and if possible rescue an animal before it is too late. If they chew your fav shoes, give them some training and attention not a death sentance. Look your pet in the eyes,hug them and kiss them and they will return the same to you. Thanks GRRSN for what you do and all other animal rescues! PG

You bring up a great point. I think disabled veterans are treated like dogs and I hope goodwill finds itself in folks' heart to at least treat a human being better than an animal.
