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 
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 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 doin' it 
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone 
Still harder, getting up, getting dressed, living 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 
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 

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 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 

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
