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.

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 have been
and not seeing that loving you is what I was trying to do.
