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

Every once in a while, I'll be sitting alone and a few tears will fall from my eyes. I'm not afraid to cry. I still get upset that I have to go on without you here, even though it's been three years since you left. I pretend I'm okay for Louise's sake, but it's not what hitting home, what's hurting 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 tryin' to do

I was so close to calling you my own, so close to being yours. I had too much I wanted to say to you, but I just watched you walk away from me and not look back. I guess now I'll never know what could have been if you would have stayed, if I hadn't have said anything. I never saw that I was just trying to love you.

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, 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

I'm sure that you find it just as hard as I do to deal with the pain that I feel of losing you, the pain I feel everywhere I go, but I find I'm doing it. The few friends we made here, it's hard to force a smile around them. Living with this regret is even harder than that, but I know that if I could do it over, I'd trade or even give away the words that are in my heart that I should have said to you, that I didn't say because I couldn't find the time to.

What hurts the most
Is 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
