What Hurts the Most – Rascal Flatts

Again I find another good song that I heard elsewhere and hear again randomly, this time over at Mike’s place. The song is real nice and I can’t stop listening to it now. You can watch the following original music video for it which contains scenes to help the plot and video. It starts off with a girl screaming at her dad so watch your volume. Another awesome voice. I’m not a big fan of country but there are the occasional songs that you really can’t help but love.


What Hurts the Most – Rascal Flatts

After looking that the lyrics more carefully, I realized that “what hurts the most” was not telling the one you loved what you really felt, leaving words unspoken. She didn’t tell him she loved him even though he did and she regrets not telling him when it’s already too late.

Continue on for the lyrics.
What Hurts the Most – Rascal Flatts

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 them 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 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 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, livin’ 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
Is 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

What hurts the most
Is 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

Not seeing that loving you
That’s what I was trying to do

  1. what did she mean in the end? about seeing him?

  2. he asked her what she saw in her future and she never responded. at the end she was like, i saw you.

  3. i actually first heard this when z100 released cascada’s version of it. i think this one is definitely better with the whole story of the video.

  4. i love both versions of this song–the original and cascada’s. and i LOVE country music, and heartfelt country music video stories.

  5. word. what fiona said loL

  6. cascada sings well but after hearing rascal flatts, it lives you with an eh. her music video i hate though, it ruins the lyrics of the song with her pointless, self absorbed video.
