[Verse 1: Nick]
Out in the rain, looking for sunshine
I call your name, but you're like a ghost
I let you disappear
Should've never let you go, oh-oh-oh!
I want to say that just for the record
That you still got my heart and my soul
And though we're worlds apart
Yeah, I gotta let you know, oh-oh-oh!

[Pre-Chorus: Howie]
You are the piece I can't replace
You left a mark that won't erase, oh-oh

[Chorus: All]
No one else can teach me how to love again
'Cause you left a permanent stain on my heart
And I've been feeling it
Never mind what people say, 'cause they don't understand
How you left a permanent stain on my heart
You're never leaving it

[Verse 2: AJ]
Some tried to break through the walls that
I built up, but they don't compare to you
One chance, I swear
I'll never let you go, oh-oh-oh!

[Pre-Chorus: Brian]
You are the piece I can't replace
You left a mark that won't erase, oh-oh

[Chorus: All & AJ]
(No!)
No one else can teach me how to love again
'Cause you left a permanent stain on my heart
And I've been feeling it (I've been feeling it)
Never mind what people say, 'cause they don't understand
How you left a permanent stain on my heart (heart!)
You're never leaving it (yeah-yeah)

[Interlude: All & AJ]
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (oh-oh)
You left a permanent stain on my heart
And I've been feeling it

[Bridge: Kevin]
Washed away the tide
Never gonna fade
No one can touch the fame
Or tame the fire (tame the fire)

[Pre-Chorus: Nick]
You are the piece I can't replace
You left a mark that won't erase, oh-oh

[Chorus: All & AJ]
No one else can teach me how to love again
'Cause you left a permanent stain on my heart (heart!)
And I've been feeling it (yeah-yeah)
Never mind what people say, 'cause they don't understand
How you left a permanent stain on my heart
You're never leaving it (never leave, never leaving it)

[Outro: All & AJ]
Oooh-oooh (never leave, never leaving it)
Oooh-oooh (never leave, never leaving it)
You left a permanent stain on my heart
You're never leaving it (never leave, never leaving it)
Oooh-oooh (never leave, never leaving it)
Oooh-oooh (never leave, never leaving it)
You left a permanent stain on my heart
You're never leaving it (it...)

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.
