What Hurts the Most

What Hurts The Most lyrics
Songwriters: Steele, Jeffrey; Robson, Steve;

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
Goin' on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I'm okay
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 tryin' to do

It's hard to deal with the pain of losin' 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 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
(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, oh
Oh yeah

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And havin' so much to say
(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 seein' that lovin' you
That's what I was trying to do, ooo

So this song has always been a personal favorite of mine from Rascal Flatts and I remember the first time I watched the actual video. It hits a person pretty hard because of the whole story line behind it. A high school couple is getting pretty serious and the boy before he leaves ask "what do you see" and the girl doesn't respond. In the video the boy gets killed in a car accident and the girl becomes this wreck, but seriously I would be the same way. She has cried so much she has made herself sick, she can't stand school because she just sees his empty desk and she is going down hill fast. Eventually she busts out of the house running down the road the boy had originally wrecked on and she answers his question and says "I see you". This video makes me not want to ever leave anything unsaid because you never know if you will have a tomorrow to say what you really want too. Even though these type of songs are used as more break up songs to me this song is much more than that. It's a song were you, in every way, actually lose the one you love. Know one wants to go through it but seeing it makes you appreciate everything you have right now and to always be thankful for it, to love it, and not waste the time you have.
