[Intro]
Ooh
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Ooh
Do-do-do-do-do

[Verse 1]
Sand keeps slipping right through my hands
Days all feel the same, still numb from you
First step off of this plane, I knew
I suffocate without you, heart beats for two

[Pre-Chorus]
It was good (Was good)
What we had (What we had)
If it was paradise
Can somebody take me back? (Take me back)
And it hurts (It hurts)
Looking back (Looking back)
If this is for the best
Then tell me why it hurts so bad (So bad)

[Chorus]
Don't let go when the daylight's gone
'Cause it's always darkest before the dawn
I breathe, oh
When the cold air starts filling up my lungs
When I hate the things that I've become
I breathe, oh

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Ooh, ooh
Do-do-do-do-do

[Verse 2]
Regrets dancing around my head, everything I never said
Still numb from you (From you, from you, from you)
Secrets sleeping all over this bed (Over this bed)
Memories of what we did (What we did)
Got mixed with you (Oh whoa)

[Pre-Chorus]
And it hurts (It hurts)
Looking back (Looking back)
If this is for the best
Then tell me why it hurts so bad (Hurts so bad)

[Chorus]
Don't let go when the daylight's gone (Light's gone)
'Cause it's always darkest before the dawn
I breathe (Oh, I breathe)
When the cold air starts filling up my lungs (My lungs)
When I hate the things that I've become
I breathe (Oh, I breathe)

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Ooh, ooh
Breathe (Oh, I breathe)
Ooh
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Ooh, ooh
Breathe

[Outro]
Sand keeps slipping right through my hands
Days all feel the same, still numb from you

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.
