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 outI'm not afraid to cry
Every once in a while even though goin' on
With you gone still upsets meThere are days
Every now and again I pretend I'm okay
But that's not what gets meWhat hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk awayNever knowing
What could have been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin' to doIt's hard to deal with the pain
Of losing you everywhere I go
But I'm doin' itIt's hard to force that smile when I
See our old friends and I'm alone
Still harderGettin' up, gettin' dressed
Livin' with this regret
But I know if I could do it overI would trade, give away all the words
That I saved in my heart
That I left unspokenWhat hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk awayNever knowing
What could have been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin' to doI'm not afraid to cry
Every once in a while even though goin' on
With you gone still upsets meThere are days
Every now and again
I pretend I'm okay
But that's not what gets meWhat hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk awayNever knowing
What could have been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin' to doWhat hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk awayNever knowing
What could have been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin' to do
