Looking at your picture from when we first met
You gave me a smile that I could never forget
And nothing I could do could protect me from you that night

Wrapped around your finger always in my mind
The days they went cause we stayed up all night
Yeah, you and I were everything, everything to me

I just want you to know
that I�ve been fighting to let you go
Some days I�ll make it through,
and then there�s nights that never end
I wish that I could believe
that there�s a day you�ll come back to me
But still I have to say I would do it all again, just want you to know

All the doors are closing
I�m trying to move ahead
And deep inside I wish it's me instead
My dreams are empty from the day
The day you slipped away

And I just want you to know
that I�ve been fighting to let you go
Some days I�ll make it through,
and then there�s nights that never end
I wish that I could believe
that there�s a day you�ll come back to me
But still I have to say I would do it all again, just want you to know

That since I lost you,
I lost myself
I know I can�t fake it,
there�s no one else

I just want you to know
that I�ve been fighting to let you go
Some days I�ll make it through,
and then there�s nights that never end
I wish that I could believe
that there�s a day you�ll come back to me
But still I have to say I would do it all again, just want you to know

Empty spaces fill me up with holes
Distant faces with no place left to go
Without you within me I can�t find no rest
Where I�m going as anybody�s guest

I try to go on like I never knew you
I�m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I�m going to be is
Incomplete

Voices tell me I should carry on
But I am swimming in an ocean all alone
Baby my baby it�s written on your face
You still wonder if we made a big mistake

I try to go on like I never knew you
I�m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I�m going to be is
Incomplete

I don�t mean to drag it on
But I can�t seem to let you go
I don�t want to make you face this world alone
I wanna let you go

I try to go on like I never knew you
I�m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I�m going to be is
Incomplete

Ohhh yeah

Don't pretend you're sorry
I know you're not
You know you got the power
to make me weak inside
Girl, you leave me breathless
But it's ok
Cause you are my survival
Now hear me say:

I can't imagine
life without your love
And even forever
don't seem like long enough

Cause everytime I breathe I take you in
And my heart beats again
Baby, I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love
Everytime I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby, I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love

Maybe I'm a drifter
Late at night
Cause I long for the safety
of flowing freely in your arms
I don't need another lover
It's not for me
Cause only you can save me
Oh, can't you see

I can't imagine
life without your love
And even forever
don't seem like long enough
(Don't seem like long enough, yeah)

Cause everytime I breathe I take you in
And my heart beats again
Baby, I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love
And everytime I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby, I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love

Go on and pull me under
Cover me with dreams, yeah
Love me mouth to mouth now
You know I can't resist
Cause you're the air that I breathe

Cause everytime I breathe I take you in
(Everytime I breathe, yeah)
And my heart beats again
Baby, I can't help it
(Baby, I can't help it)
You keep me drowning in your love
And everytime I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby, I can't help it
(Baby, I can't help it)
Keep me drowning in your love

Baby, I can't help it You keep me drowning in your love
(Keep me drowning in your love)

Whoa, got me drowning, keep me drowning in your love

Baby, I can't help it
(I can't help it, can't help it, no no)

Everytime I breathe I take you in (Yeah, I do)
And my heart beats again
Baby, I can't help I
(Baby, I can't help it)
Keep me drowning in your love
Everytime I try to rise above
(Everytime I try to rise, rise above)

I'm swept away by love

Baby I can't help it

You keep me drowning in
your love

I can see that you've been crying
You can't hide it with a lie
What's the use in you denying
The words you have at home

I heard him promise you forever
But forevers come and go
Baby he would say whatever
It takes to keep you alive
Tell the truth between the lines

Oh I will love you more than that
I won't say those words, then take them back
Don't give lonliness a chance
Baby listen to me when I say
I will love you more than that

Baby you deserve much better
What's the use in holding on
Don't you see it's now or never
Just why you can't be friends
Baby knowing in the end

And I will love you more than that
I won't say those words, then take them back
Don't give lonliness a chance
Baby listen to me when I say

(bridge)
There's not a day that passes by
I don't wonder why we haven't tried
It's not too late to change your mind
And take my hand, don't say goodbye

I will love you more than that
I won't say those words, then take them back

Oh I will love you more than that
I won't say those words, then take them back
Don't give lonliness a chance
Baby listen to me when I say
I will love you more than that

Oh I will love you more than that
I won't say those words, then take them back
Don't give lonliness a chance
Baby listen to me when I say
I will love you more than that

Girl: Where are you?

Girl: Hello?
AJ: You're coming in and out I think my battery must be low.
Listen if you can hear me we're goin to a place nearby, alright? Gotta go!

Let me tell you the story about the call that changed my destiny
Me and my boys went out, just to end up in mysery
I was about to go home and there she was standing in front of me
And I, I got a little place nearby
I wanna go, I should have said no
Someone's waiting for me
But I'm gonna go up and see

Listen Baby I'm sorry
Just wanna tell you don't worry
I will be late don't stay up and wait for me
I'll say again you're drying out my battery it's low
So you know we're goin to a place nearby
I gotta go

Now till it's done nothing's been won
I can't take it back what's done is done
One of her friends found out
That she wasn't the only one
And it eats me from inside, that she's not by my side
Just because I made that call and lied

Listen Baby I'm sorry
Just wanna tell you don't worry
I will be late don't stay up and wait for me
I'll say again you're drying out my battery it's low
So you know we're goin to a place nearby
I gotta go

Let me tell you the story about the call that changed my destiny
Me and my boys went out, just to end up in mysery
I was about to go home and there she was standing in front of me
Said I, I got a little wasted bye
Gotta go

Listen Baby I'm sorry
Just wanna tell you don't worry
I will be late don't stay up and wait for me
I'll say again you're drying out my battery it's low
So you know we're goin to a place nearby
Gotta go

Listen Baby I'm sorry
Just wanna tell you don't worry
I will be late don't stay up and wait for me
I'll say again you're drying out my battery it's low
So you know we're goin to a place nearby
We're goin to a place nearby
Gotta go

Hmm, yeah, yeah
Baby, please try to forgive me
Stay here don't put out the glow
Hold me now don't bother if every minute it makes me weaker
You can save me from the man that i've become, oh yeah

Lookin' back on the things I've done
I was tryin' to be someone
I played my part, kept you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of my heart

Send in this beautiful lonelyness thats tragical
So help me I can't win this war, oh no
Touch me now don't bother if every second it makes me weaker
You can save me from the man I've become

Lookin' back on the things I've done
I was tryin' to be someone
I played my part, kept you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of my heart

I'm here with my confesion
Got nothing to hide no more
I dont know where to start
But to show you the shape of my heart

I'm lookin' back on things I've done
I never wanna play the same old part
I'll keep you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of my heart

Lookin' back on the things I've done
I was tryin' to be someone
I played my part, kept you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of my heart

Lookin' back on the things I've done
I was tryin' to be someone
I played my part, kept you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of my heart

show you the shape of my heart

I'll be the one

I guess you were lost when I met you
Still there were tears in your eyes
So out of trust and I knew
No more than mysteries and lies

There you were, wild and free
Reaching out like you needed me
A helping hand to make it right
I am holding you all through the night

Chorus:
I'll be the one, I'll be the one
Who will make all your sorrows undone
I'll be the light, I'll be the light
When you feel like there's nowhere to run
I'll be the one

To hold you and make sure that you'll be alright
'Cause my faith is gone
And I want to take you from darkness to light

There you were, wild and free
Reaching out like you needed me
A helping hand to make it right
I am holding you all through the night

Chorus

You need me like I need you
We can share our dreams comin' true
I can show you what true love means
Just take my hand, baby please

I'll be the one
I'll be the light
Where you can run
To make it alright
I'll be the one
I'll be the light
Where you can run

Chorus

I'll be the one

I'll be the light
Where you can run
To make it alright
I'll be the one
I'll be the light
Where you can run
To make it all right
I'll be the one
To hold you
And make sure that you'll be alright
I'll be the one

Show me the meaning of being lonely

So many words for the broken heart
It's hard to see in a crimson love
So hard to breathe
Walk with me, and maybe
Nights of light so soon become
Wild and free I could feel the sun
Your every wish will be done
They tell me

Chorus:
Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart

Life goes on as it never ends
Eyes of stone observe the trends
They never say forever gaze
Guilty roads to an endless love
There's no control
Are you with me now
Your every wish will be done
They tell me

Chorus

There's nowhere to run
I have no place to go
Surrender my heart' body and soul
How can it be you're asking me to feel the things you never show

You are missing in my heart
Tell me why I can't be there where you are

I may run and hide.
When you're screamin' my name, alright.
But let me tell you now.
There are prices to fame, alright.
All of our time spent in flashes of light.

CHORUS

All you people can't you see, can't you see.
How your love's affecting our reality.
Every time we're down.
You can make it right.
And that makes you larger than life.

Looking at the crowd;
And I see your body sway, c'mon.
Wishin' I could thank you in a different way, c'mon.
'Cause all of your time spent keeps us alive.

CHORUS - repeat

All of your time spent keeps us alive

CHORUS - repeat

Yeah, every time we're down.
Yeah, you can make it right.
Yeah, and that's what makes you larger than life.

CHORUS - repeat

I Want It That Way

You are my fire.
The one desire.
Believe when I say.
I want it that way.

But we are two worlds apart.
Can't reach to your heart.
When you say.
That I want it that way.

CHORUS:

Tell me why. Ain't nothin' but a heartache.
Tell me why.
Ain't nothin' but a mistake.
Tell me why.
I never wanna hear you say.
I want it that way.

Am I your fire.
Your one desire.
Yes I know it's too late.
But I want it that way.

CHORUS

Now I can see that we've fallen apart.
From the way that it used to be, yeah.
No matter the distance.
I want you to know that.
Deep down inside of me.
You are my fire.
The one desire.
You are, you are, you are, you are.
Don't wanna hear you say...

Don't wanna hear you say,
Ain't nothin' but a heartache,
Ain't nothin' but a mistake,
(Don't wanna hear you say),
I never wanna hear you say,
I want it that way.

Tell me why,
Ain't nothin' but a heartache,
Tell me why,
Ain't nothin' but a mistake,
Tell me why,
I never wanna hear you say,
(Don't wanna hear you say),
I want it that way.

Tell me why...
Ain't nothin' but a heartache,
Ain't nothin' but a mistake,
Tell me why,
I never wanna hear you say,
(Never wanna hear you say it),
I want it that way.

I want it that way

Everybody groove to the music
Everybody jam
We've been waiting so long
Just can't hold it back no more
Creepin' up and down now
It's time for me to let it go
If you really wanna see
What we can do for you
Send the crazy wildin' static
Sing it

Chorus Jam cause Backstreet's got it
Come now everybody
We've go it goin' on for years
(x2)

Well I'm creepin' up on your left
Straight up funky when I get with you
I get ruthless when I get wet
Keep the party packed in my corner
Tough like to keep the crowd hype
Get up on this just to get right
What you want is what you're gonna get
Backstreet's got the special effects

If you really wanna see
What we can do for you
Send the crazy wildin' static
Sing it

Chorus

We've got it going on for years(x2)

Bridge We've been waiting so long
Just can't hold it back no more
Creepin' up and down now
It's time for me to let it go

Chorus

Baby, I know you're hurting
right now you feel you could never love again
But all I'm asking is for a chance
To prove that I love you

From the first day, that I saw your smiling face
Honey I knew that we would be together forever
Ooh, when I asked you out, you said no but I found out
Darlin that you'd been hurt
You felt that you'd never love again

Bridge

I deserve a try honey just once
Give me a chance and I'll prove thats all wrong
You walked in you were so quick to judge
But honey he's nothing like me

Chorus

Ill never break your heart
I'll never make you cry
I'd rather die
Than live without you
I'll give you all of me honey thats no lie
I'll never break your heart
I'll never make you cry
I'd rather die
Than live without you
I'll give you all of me honey thats no lie

As time rolls by you will get to know me
A little more better, girl thats the way love goes
And I know you're afraid to let your feelings show
And I understand but girl its time to let go

Bridge

Chorus

I'll never break your heart
No way (no way)
Girl I'll never make you cry (make you cry)
I swear (I swear, honey I swear)
I'll never break your heart
(I would never do that to you baby)
Oh just give me a chance I'll show you how much I love you
I'd rather die than live without you
I'll give you all of me (I would give you the world, if youre mine girl)
I'll never break your heart
I'll never make you cry
I'd rather die than live without you
I'll give you all of me honey thats no lie
(oh I miss you I want you I need you in my life)
(he could never do the things that I can do for you...)

Everybody
Rock your body
Everybody
Rock your body right
Backstreet's Back, alright

Oh my God, we're back again
Brothers, sisters, everybody sing
We're gonna bring the flavour show you how
I've got a question for ya better answer now

Pre-Chorus

Am I original? (yeah)
Am I the only one? (yeah)
Am I sexual? (yeah)
Am I everything you need?
You betta rock your body now

Chorus

Everybody
Rock your body
Everybody
Rock your body right
Backstreet's Back, alright

Now throw your hands up in the air
And wave 'em around like you just don't care
If you wanna party let me hear you yell
'Cause we've got it goin' on again

Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine
I'm leaving my life in your hands
People say I'm crazy and that I am blind
Risking it all in a glance
How you got me blind is still a mystery
I can't get you out of my head
Don't care what is written in your history
As long as you're here with me

Chorus

I don't care who you are
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who you are
Where you're from
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me

Every little thing that you have said and done
Feels like it's deep within me
Doesn't really matter if you're on the run
It seems like we're meant to be

Chorus

Bridge

I've tried to hide it so that no one knows
But I guess it shows
When you look into my eyes
What you did and where you're coming from
I don't care, as long as you love me, baby.

Chorus

I don't know what he does to make you cry,
But I'll be there to make you smile.
I don't have a fancy car,
To get to you I'd walk a thousand miles.
I don't care if he buys you nice things
Does his gifts come from the heart
I don't know, but if you were my girl
I'd make it so we'd never be apart

Chorus

But my love is all I have to give
Without you I don't think I can live
I wish I could give the world to you
But love is all I have to give

When you talk, does it seem like he's not
Even listening to a word you say?
That's okay babe, just tell me your problems
I'll try my best to kiss them all away...
Does he leave when you need him the most?
Does his friends get all your time?
Baby please...I"m on my knees
Praying for the day that you'll be mine!!

Chorus

Bridge

To you..... Hey girl, I don't want you to cry no more - inside
All the money in the world
Could never add up to
All the love I have inside
I love you

Bass Break And I will give it to you
All I can give, all I can give
Everything I have is for you
But love is all I have to give

Drum Break & Chorus x3 and out
But my love is all I have to give
Without you I dont think I can live
I wish I could give the world to you
But love is all I have to give...to you.

Chorus
