What is the meaning behind rascal flatts song what hurts the most?

Answer 1

I couldn't really understand it before either, but now I do:

"Because what hurts the most

Is being so close and having so much to say

And watching you walk away."

The worst way to miss someone, is being right next to her and knowing that you can't have her.

In the beginning of the video a teenage girl is screaming at her dad saying, "YOU made him leave." We soon find out the the girls boyfriend had gotten her pregnant. The father probably found out and forced them apart for that reason. The boyfriend left and accidentally crashed his truck... and the reason she keeps saying "I saw you" at his grave is because the part before in the truck when she asked him what he saw in the future and he said "you, I see you".

Answer 2

the song is about a girl and her boyfriend and the dad does not like the boyfriend so he forces her to brake up with him and the father makes him leave. on his way from the house the boyfriend suffers a terrible car accident and does not survive the girl blames her dad for it and now the dad feels extremely guilty

Answer 3

He must have written it for a girl he was datin.. And they went seperate ways without him telling her the things he wanted to say... He was so close... To having so much to say.. He was trying to see himself loving her.. But she must have left

Answer 4

The lyrics to "What Hurts the Most" by Rascal Flatts are:

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

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 tryin' to do

It's hard to deal with the pain of losin' 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 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

Is being so close

And havin' so much to say

(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, oh

Oh yeah

What hurts the most

Was being so close

And havin' so much to say

(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

Not seein' that lovin' you

That's what I was trying to do, ooo
