Song lyrics

Send "What Hurts the Most" ringtones to your cell

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 tryin’ 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, 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 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 
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 

Not seeing that loving you 
That’s what I was trying to do

8 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This song reminds me so much of my boyfriend. We've been on and off for over a year because he's in Korea and I'm in the US finishing college. I remember the day he got on the plane, I stood in the middle of the airport crying my eyes out. I love him to death but my family and friends are against our relationship. I told him to stay over there because I thought it was a good opportunity for him. I almost wish I had been selfish, but I still love him with everything that is in me.

1 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I absolutely LOVE this song but there were a few things in the video that I just didn't understand, like... 1. Why is the girl taking everything out on her Dad in the begining of the video? 2. In the middle of the video, when the girl is in the bathroom and holds her stomach, does that mean that she was just incredibly upset over her boyfriend's death or is she supposed to be pregnant? ...does anyone have any answers to these questions?!?

1 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Last night I saw one of the writers of this song perform it live - and I fell in love. It's a beautiful song. As a songwriter, this song makes me want to cry when listening to it, and when singing it I feel that emotion so strong too - it hits to the core. Truly an excellent piece of work.

2 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This song is about a girl in high school who is in love with her boyfriend...but she never tells him. She never says to him what she sees in the future. Her father breaks them up and sends him away. She ends up pregnant, and as he's leaving her, he dies in a car crash. She finally realizes how much she loves him after he's gone, and has to live with the regret of losing him and never having told him how she felt.
