this was the version i first heard and i'm always going to love it! i heard it on the wicker park soundtrack.. phil collins was awesome and he will always be the original singer for this track. but, artists get inspired by songs and a lot of them do covers for it. everyone needs to calm down! whoever likes this version, then great but if you like the original better, then that's great too.

Why can't people just shut up and listen to the music? That's my question.

how can I just let you walk away
just let you leave without a trace?
when I stand here taking every breath
with you, oooou
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
there's just an empty space
there's nothing left here to remind me
just the memory of your face
take a look at me now
there's just an empty space
you comming back to me is against the odds
and thats 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
there's just an empty space
there's nothing left here to remind me
just the memory of your face
take a look at me now
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 look at me now
I'll just be standing here
you comming back to me is against the odds
and thats a chance I've got to face

take a look at me now

Why are kids my age nowadays are such big douches.. I like this version alot but Phil Collins is better. And they didn't remake for our generation they made it for their style of playing cuz they loved the song.. so many ppl are too ignorant, and not just this generation lol

All these old people need to shut up. This is the better version.

omg. these guys are so good. i love their music

people who keeps sayin that phill collins version is better, needs to shut up lol. that was his generations version, of course its gonna be good for that time. postal service did it for THIS generation, n for this one its REALLY GOOD.

tsk. i loved the cover.
