What Hurts the Most Lyrics by Jo O’Meara

Relentless

2005

[Verse 1]
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 still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I'm okay
But that's not what gets me
[Chorus]
What hurts the most
Was being so close
And havin' so much to say
And watchin' you walk away
And never knowing
What could've been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin' to do
[Verse 2]
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
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 saved in my heart
That I left unspoken
[Chorus]
'Cause what hurts the most
Was being so close
And havin' so much to say
And watchin' you walk away
And never knowing
What could've been
And not seeing that love in you
Is what I was tryin' to do
Is what I was tryin' to do
Oh-oh-oh
What hurts the most
Was being so close
And havin' so much to say
And watchin' you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin' to do
[Outro]
What hurts the most
Oh, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh
