The song was inspired by Jeffrey Steeles personal experiences of losing his father when he was young, and later, his girlfriend in a car accident. These events led him to reflect on how painful it is to lose someone without having the chance to say everything youd like to.

Introduction:EmDC9
Em7DC9 I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house, D That don't bother me, Em7DC I can take a few tears now and then and just let em out, DC9 I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while, DEm7 Even though goin on with you gone, still upsets me, C9 There are days every now and again, I pretend I'm ok, D But that's a not what gets me
EmDC9 What hurts the most, was being so close, GCD And having so much to say, and watching you walk away, EmDC9 And never knowin', what could've been, GD4DEm7DC9 And not seein that lovin you, is what I was tryin to do
Em7DC9 It's hard to deal with the pain of losin you everywhere I go, D But I'm doin' it, Em7DC9 It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone, D Still harder, C9D Gettin up, gettin dressed, livin with this regret, Em7DC9 But I know if I could do it over, I would trade, give away D All the words that I saved in my heart that I left unspoken
EmDC9 What hurts the most, is being so close, GCD And having so much to say, and watching you walk away, EmDC9 And never knowin', what could've been, GD4DCDC And not seein that lovin you, is what I was tryin to do
