What Hurts The Most lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can take the bubbles, the future they wave my way
They don't bother me
I can take the ocean, my opinion still has to sway
I watched you

Take their lives, steal his sight
Kill her hope, so you won't
Ever get her regret, my sympathy

But I'd say every day, that I yearn
And I want your return, until then I'm buried

[Chorus]
What hurts the most
Is being so close
Maybe I could have saved
You had I not stayed away

Even knowing
What it could bring
I should have said that loving you
Was what I was trying to do

[Verse 2]
Hard to know where our futurе could have lead if she lеt you go
But I picture it
With me and you, I'd put you back together
We're no longer all alone
No slaughter
You deserved all the hurt
That she served
Though it burns
I am glad that she has laid you under

We can trade our mistakes
But the paths we have made
Lead us both
In separate directions

[Chorus]
What hurts the most
Is being so close
Maybe I could have saved
You had I not stayed away

Even knowing
What it could bring
I should have said that loving you
Was what I was trying to do

[Instrumental Break]

What hurts the most
Was being so close (what hurts the most was being so close)
Maybe I could have saved
You if I'd not stayed away
Even knowing
What it could bring
So I'm saying that loving you (ahhh)
Was what I was trying to do
