Quoting my friend, Link and Zelda are a couple that is seperated by time. I see this song as being in Link's point of view. This song's message is basically, "Don't wait to tell someone how you feel." I think it can apply to when Zelda had to send Link back to the original time. Link seems very relunctant and hesitent as he was giving the Ocarina of Time to Zelda. "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" reminds me of what I think Link was feeling at that moment in time here he had to regain the seven years he lost. Maybe he had something to say to Zelda, but never got the chance.


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

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

What hurts the most
Is 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 trying to do

What hurts the most
Is 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 trying to do

Not seeing that loving you
That's what I was trying to do
Ooohhh....

Yeah, this is very OoT Link, but I could see it working for Zelda too (since she sent Link back to a younger version of herself, though she was acting as though there would be no Link when she returned to her time).

Either way, the song works well for them :zelink:
