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 them out
But I'm not afraid to cry, every once in a while
Even though going on with you 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 having so much to say, and watching you walk away
And never knowing what could have been
And not seeing that loving you is what I was trying to do.

It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you
Everywhere I go, but I'm doing it
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends
And I'm alone, still harder
Getting up, getting 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.

'Cause what hurts the most was being so close
And having so much to say, and watching you walk away
And never knowing what could have been
And not seeing that loving you is what I was trying to do.
Is what I was trying to do.

What hurts the most was being so close
And having so much to say, and watching you walk away
And never knowing what could have been
And not seeing that loving you is what I was trying to do.
Is what I was trying to do...
