A música foi inspirada pelas experiências pessoais de Jeffrey Steele, perdendo seu pai quando ele era jovem, e mais tarde, sua namorada num acidente de carro. Esses eventos o levaram a refletir sobre o quão doloroso é perder alguém sem ter a chance de dizer tudo o que gostaria.
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 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 ok, But that's a 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 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 having so much to say, and watching you walk away, And never knowin', what could've been, And not seein that lovin you, is what I was tryin to do
Hey
What hurts the most, was being so close, And having so much to say,(to say) and watching you walk away, And never knowin', what could've been, And not seein that lovin you, is what I was tryin to do, And not seein that lovin you, That's what I was tryin to do. **********************
