Jo O'Meara - What Hurts The Most

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
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've been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

It's hard to deal
With the pain of losing you
Everywhere I go, but I'm doin' it
It's harder for a sad smile
When I see our old friends and I'm alone

Still harder
Gettin' up, gettin' dressed
Dealin' with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade, give away
All the words that I say
In my heart that I left unspoken

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could've been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

It's what I was trying to do
Oh, oh oh, oh

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could've been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

What hurts the most,
whenever you walk away,
Yeah,
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
