What Hurts The Most

I know there has already been a post made on music.is.life about this song (Rascal Flatts' version has been featured on this site), but yet another version of this song has been recorded; this time, by dance diva CASCADA.
A lot of people may not enjoy this version of What Hurts The Most, which has been sung a thousand times over by various artists in a wide range of genres. Some people may argue that CASCADA's trademark dance club style, was not true to the powerful and moving lyrics of this song. I thought I would be one of those people. Surprisingly, I actually enjoyed CASCADA's version of this song almost more than Rascal Flatts', although I must admit the country stars' video blows CASCADA's out of the water.
I've already fallen in love with this song, as much of the music world has. Now, let's fall in love all over again with a quick listen to CASCADA's powerful remix.

CASCADA - What Hurts The Most Music Video

What Hurts The Most
CASCADA

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 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 having so much to say
And watchin' you walk away
Never knowing
What could have been
And not seein that lovin' 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, 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 watchin' you walk away
Never knowing
What could have been
And not seein that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin to do

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 okay
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 seein that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin to do

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watchin' you walk away
Never knowing
What could have been
And not seein that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin to do

My favorite part of this video? When CASCADA is getting her tattoo (the classic heart with a banner reading Unbreakable) and when the wall is seperating her and the guy who broke her heart.
If you arn't fond of this dance club style of this song (and I have a feeling many people won't be), there's an alternative; CASCADA sung a "candlelight remix" of What Hurts The Most, similar to what she did for her song Every Time We Touch. To hear the CASCADA's What Hurts The Most: Yanou's Candlelight Mix, watch this video. This is not the music video for the remix, but gives you a chance to hear the song.
