What Hurts The Most
Cascada · Back On The Dancefloor [2012]
That don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and jus' let 'em out
I'm not afraid to cry
Ev'ry once
In a while
Even though
Goin' on
With you gone
Still upsets me
There are days
Ev'ry 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 (much to say)
And watching you walk away (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 losing you ev'rywhere 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 (much to say)
And watching you walk away (away)
Never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin'... to do, ohhhh
Ohhhh yeah
I'm not afraid to cry
Ev'ry once
In a while
Even though
Goin' on
With you gone
Still upsets me
There are days
Ev'ry 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 (much to say)
And watching you walk away (away)
Never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin' to do
What hurts the most (What hurts the most)
Is being so close
And having so much to say (much to say)
And watching you walk away (you walk away)
Never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin' to do
