What Hurts the Most
Unspoken Heartache: Yearning for What Could Have Been
Lyrics
I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
I can endure the sadness represented by the rain falling on the roof of my now empty house.
That don't bother me
The sound of rain doesn't affect me emotionally.
I can take a few tears now and then and just let 'em out
I can handle shedding a few tears occasionally and allow myself to express my emotions.
I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while
I'm not afraid to cry from time to time.
Even though goin' on with you gone still upsets me
Even though I continue with life after your departure, the thought of you leaving still deeply disturbs me.
There are days every now and again I pretend I'm okay
Occasionally, I pretend to be okay, but it's just a facade to cope with the pain.
But that's not what gets me
However, the pretending is not the real source of my distress.
What hurts the most was being so close
The most painful thing is being incredibly close to you.
And havin' so much to say
Despite having a lot to express, I couldn't convey my feelings.
And watchin' you walk away
Witnessing you walk away is a heartbreaking experience.
And never knowin' what could've been
Not knowing what could have been is a lingering regret.
And not seein' that lovin' you
I failed to realize that loving you was my true intention.
Is what I was trying to do
Loving you was the purpose I was trying to fulfill.
It's hard to deal with the pain of losin' you everywhere I go
Coping with the pain of losing you is challenging, and it affects me everywhere I go.
But I'm doing it
Despite the difficulty, I'm managing to go through it.
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone
Forcing a smile when encountering our old friends alone is tough.
Still harder gettin' up, gettin' dressed, livin' with this regret
It's even harder to face daily activities with the burden of regret.
But I know if I could do it over
If given a chance, I would trade all the unspoken words in my heart for a different outcome.
I would trade, give away all the words that I saved in my heart
These words left unspoken are the ones I would give away to change the past.
That I left unspoken
Regretting not expressing these words of love.
What hurts the most was being so close
The most painful aspect remains being very close to you.
And havin' so much to say
Despite having a lot to express, I couldn't convey my feelings.
And watchin' you walk away
Witnessing you walk away is a heartbreaking experience.
And never knowin' what could've been
Not knowing what could have been is a lingering regret.
And not seein' that lovin' you
I failed to realize that loving you was my true intention.
Is what I was trying to do, oh
Loving you was the purpose I was trying to fulfill.
What hurts the most was being so close
The most painful thing is being incredibly close to you.
And havin' so much to say
Despite having a lot to express, I couldn't convey my feelings.
And watchin' you walk away
Witnessing you walk away is a heartbreaking experience.
And never knowin' what could've been
Not knowing what could have been is a lingering regret.
And not seein' that lovin' you
I failed to realize that loving you was my true intention.
Is what I was trying to do
Loving you was the purpose I was trying to fulfill.
(Not seeing that lovin' you)
(Not seeing that loving you)
That's what I was trying to do, ooh
That's what I was trying to do, expressing the regret of not recognizing the love when it mattered.
