What Hurts The Most
Cascada Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 goin' 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 watching you walk away
Never knowing, what could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
It's hard to deal with the pain of losing 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, living 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 having so much to say
And watching you walk away
Never knowing, what could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
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 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
Never knowing, what could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
What hurts the most, was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
Never knowing, what could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
The lyrics to Cascada's "What Hurts The Most" express the pain and regret of losing someone the singer loved. The first verse starts with the singer describing how they can handle the rain on the roof of their empty house and tears, but what really gets to them is the fact that the person they loved is gone. They admit that even though they pretend to be okay, they are still upset deep down. The second verse is about the difficulty of moving on after losing someone. It's hard to see their old friends and put on a happy face, and even harder to live with the regret of not expressing their feelings before it was too late. If given the chance, they would give up all the words they kept in their heart just to have the opportunity to tell the person they loved them.
The chorus is the most memorable part of the song, with the singer lamenting being so close to the person they loved and having so much to say, only to watch them walk away. The pain of not knowing what could have been and not realizing they were in love until it was too late is what really hurts the most.
Overall, "What Hurts The Most" is a powerful expression of love, loss, and regret that resonates with anyone who has gone through heartbreak.

@jlawrence39
What I love about this version is sometimes in pain, you can try to run away from the pain, so the quick pace actually relates to how I sometimes deal with my emotions. I imagine myself going on a brisk walk to this during something lol

Well done Cascada, this is by far my favorite song from her.
