Rascal Flatts - What Hurts the Most Lyrics

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 â€~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

  its a great song that teaches us that we should not wait till someone is gone to realize we should have spoken up... say what your feeling now or it might be too late and your going to be wishing you could "do it over you would trade give away all the words that you saved in your heart that you left unspoken"

  I love this song. When my cousin passed away 2yrs ago all I did was sleep and cry for months nothing really comforted me besides listening to the song. I listened to over and over again it was exactly how I felt after she died. Every day I think about her and when I'm really down about it I play this song

  I think of 32 years ago when I was 16 and my first love dumped me. I went on with my life, but those feelings have never left. This song brings a few tears because I sometimes wonder what could have been.

  this song tells exactly how people are. Nothing like walking away from the people that mean most to you and never got the chance to show you or tell you exactly what you meant to them..This is for those that turn and walk away....

  I think it's a beautiful song about not speaking about your feelings and acknowledging them too late; that's a terrible thought.
