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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus x2]
Not seeing that loving you
That's what I was trying to do
Oh...
Cascada
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus x2]
Not seeing that loving you
That's what I was trying to do
Oh...
Cascada

In my opinion...
The Rascal Flatts version is a much more sad, heartbroken version. It's the singer expressing their sadness and depression in a very 'sad' way.
The Cascada version seems to me, because of the faster pace and the electronic arraignment, that it's more about being sad about what could have been, but moving on. I know, the lyrics are identical, but sometimes different music can make you interpret the lyrics differently.
I am going through a difficult break-up as we speak, and songs like this, that are very sad but fast paced, give me a feeling of 'moving on'. Like I said before, being sad about the way things ended up, but moving on.
I posted the lyrics under the original artist :) I had no idea Mark Wills was the first to sing this and was surprised not to find him on here.
anyways, i hate this version of this song. it was ruined.
