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
[Chorus]
What hurts the most was being so close
And havin' so much to say
And watchin' you walk away
And never knowin' what could've been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was trying to do
It's hard to deal with the pain of losin' you everywhere I go
But I'm doing it
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone
Still harder gettin' up, gettin' 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 was being so close
And havin' so much to say
And watchin' you walk away
And never knowin' what could've been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was trying to do, oh
[Chorus]
(Not seeing that lovin' you)
That's what I was trying to do, ooh
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
[Chorus]
What hurts the most was being so close
And havin' so much to say
And watchin' you walk away
And never knowin' what could've been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was trying to do
It's hard to deal with the pain of losin' you everywhere I go
But I'm doing it
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone
Still harder gettin' up, gettin' 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 was being so close
And havin' so much to say
And watchin' you walk away
And never knowin' what could've been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was trying to do, oh
[Chorus]
(Not seeing that lovin' you)
That's what I was trying to do, ooh

~This was a dream BTW
At the beginning you see the girl crying and saying “it’s not true. “This is because she had just found out the love of her life has just died and she blames her father for his death as he made him leave and if the father didn’t enforce that action, he would still be with her.
When you see her vomiting its not because she is pregnant, its because she is depressed, she lost her boyfriend and she has been crying so much its made her sick, physically ,mentally and emotionally. At the end when you see her running out the door, she is running to wear he was killed and says “I saw you” she is thinking back to that conversation that they had before he was killed and says she saw him in her future.
You just have to look deeper into the lyrics and the video to understand it, you have to pull it apart and analyse it from both views. Its such a beautiful song and a beautiful clip!
I play this over and over again, it never gets old!!

I am so, so madly in love with my friend.
But she doesn't feel the same way. Heck, she doesn't even know. Never, ever, ever will.
The thing is... I fell in love so fast and so intensely that I don't even know what to do with myself anymore.
This isn't the casual type of teenage love, I love her so much that sometimes it physically hurts. I've loved her for a year now. A whole freaking year, and I love her more and more each and every day. It never lessens, I never start to get over it.
We are both girls, and I know a lot of people are totally against that or whatever. But I don't really care.
She's straight. She'd never love me back. And even if she did, which would only be in my craziest of dreams, she would never love me the way I love her. Ever.
She has this best friend, and she's totally obsessed with the best friend. They're inseperable.
But this summer... they didn't talk as much, because the friend was grounded.
Well, my friend and I became so much closer. We talked for hours everyday, had so many inside jokes, laughed our butts off, sent each other long, meaningful notes, texted all the time, we hung out twice, she told me things that she had never told anyone else, and visa versa. We got to know each other so very well. We have so much in common, we think the same, look similar, have been through similar situations, and more.
We became so insanely close, that I considered her to be my best friend.
But lately, we've drifted. The one and ONLY thing that she cares about is her real best friend.
My friend and I made this plan together, one I actually thought would happen. We planned to go to the haunted house together. I was so excited. We talked about it for days. But now, she's planning to go with her real best friend.
We're not the same as we used to be. We're not as close.
But I still love her just as much. No, I love her even more. With every passing day, whether we talk or not.
I feel betrayed, hurt, worthless. But I love her. So freaking much. More than I could ever scream.
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
This part basically summarizes how I'm lonely and I feel alone. She kept me grounded, she became my other half. But now she says her best friend is her other half, and that hurts. I feel abandoned. I drifted from every single one of my other friends when we became close. I'm alone now. So alone. I cry all the time recently, I'm crying right now, to be honest. I can take it. I have to put on a tough face and pretend like things are okay, but inside, I know that they're not. Not even a little. I'm dying on the inside, and sometimes it gets to the point where I just can't handle it at all.
What hurts the most was bein' so close
And havin' so much to say
And watchin' you walk away
And never knowin' what could've been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin' to do
We were so close, as the first line is saying. I have so much to say to her; to tell her how much I love her, how much she means to me, that I have romantic feelings for her, that I'd take a bullet for her, that she keeps me going, that she's the meaning of my life, that she's the only thing that keeps me going, that she cured my old depression but is unknowingly causing a new one. I have so much to say, but we're not even close enough anymore, not to the point where I can tell her any of it. She's walking away, leaving me, but not even intentionally. I'll never know what could have been if we would be continuing remaining how we were over the summer, I can never know what that would have lead to. We're not the same anymore. She doesn't see that all I'm trying to do is love her. I can't take it
I'm holding on....
