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 OKAY
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
NEVER KNOWING
WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN
AND NOT SEEING
THAT LOVING 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
GETTING UP, GETTING DRESSED
LIVING 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
WAS BEING SO CLOSE
AND HAVING SO MUCH TO SAY
AND WATCHING YOU WALK AWAY
NEVER KNOWING
WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN
AND NOT SEEING
THAT LOVING YOU
IS WHAT I WAS TRYIN' TO DO
OH-WOAH, HEY-YEAH
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 OKAY
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 HAVE BEEN
AND NOT SEEING
THAT LOVING YOU
IS WHAT I WAS TRYIN' TO DO
WHAT HURTS THE MOST
WAS BEING SO CLOSE
AND HAVING SO MUCH TO SAY
AND WATCHING YOU WALK AWAY
NEVER KNOWING
WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN
AND NOT SEEING
THAT LOVING YOU
IS WHAT I WAS TRYIN' TO DO
