i can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
that don't bother me
i can take a few tears now and then and just let 'em out
i'm not afraid to cry every once in a while
even though going on with you gone still upsets me
there are days every now and again
i pretend i'm ok, but that's not what gets me

what hurts the most
was being so close
and havin' so much to say
and watchin' you walk away
and never knowin'
what could've been
and not seein' that lovin' you
is what i was trying to do

it's hard to deal with the pain of losin' you every where i go
but i'm doin' it
it's hard to force that smile when i see our old friends and i'm alone
still harder
gettin' up, gettin' dressed, livin' with this regret, but i know
if i could do it over
i would trade, give away, all the words that i saved in my heart
that i left unspoken

what hurts the most
is being so close
and havin' so much to say
and watchin' you walk away
and never knowin'
what could've been
and not seein' that lovin' you
is what i was tryin' to do

what hurts the most
was being so close
and havin' so much to say
and watchin' you walk away
and never knowin'
what could've been
and not seein' that lovin' you
is what i was tryin' to do
not seeing that loving you
that's what i was trying to do
