[Verse 1: Brian]
Even a lover
Makes a mistake sometimes
Like any other
Fall out and lose his mind
And I’m sorry, for the things I did
For your teardrops, over words I said
Can you forgive me
And open your heart once again?
Oh, yeah, yeah

[Chorus: All & Brian]
It's true, I mean it
From the bottom of my heart
Yeah, it's true
Without you I would fall apart
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 2: AJ & Nick]
Whatever happened
I know that I was wrong, oh yes
Can you believe me?
Maybe your faith is gone, oh, yes it is
But I love you and I always will
So I wonder if you want me still
Can you forgive me
And open your heart once again?
Oh, yeah, yeah

[Chorus: All, (AJ) & Nick]
It's true (yes, it's true)
I mean it (yeah, yeah)
From the bottom of my heart
Yeah, it's true (it's true)
Without you I would fall apart
Oooh, ooh, ooh

[Bridge: Brian]
I'd do anything to make it up to you
So please understand (please understand)
And open your heart once again

[Chorus: All, (Nick), Brian & AJ]
It's true, I mean it (oh, oh, oh)
From the bottom of my heart (from the bottom of my heart)
Yeah, it's true (yeah, yeah)
Without you I would fall apart (apart)
It's true (you know it's true, babe)
I mean it (you know I mean it)
From the bottom of my heart (from the bottom of my heart)
Yeah, it's true (I mean it)
Without you I would fall apart

[Outro: Brian]
Oh, oh, yeah, it's true

The Backstreet Boys are the most successful boy band in history, having sold over 130 million records worldwide, and with their first nine albums reaching the top 10 on the Billboard 200. Florida natives A. J. McLean, Howie Dorough, and Nick Carter, along with Kentucky transplant Kevin Richardson, were joined in a band once they attended Lou Pearlman’s auditions for a vocal group in 1992, with the group being completed by Kevin’s cousin Brian Litrell. Once took under the wing of Swedish producer Max Martin in 1995, the stage was set for global domination, attracting the lust of women and the anger of men. While the fad died down and Kevin even left for a while, the band never officially took a break or such.
