[Verse 1: Nick & Brian]
I close the door
Like so many times, so many times before
Filmed like a scene on the cutting room floor
I wanna let you walk away tonight
Without a word
I try to sleep, yeah
But the clock is stuck on thoughts of you and me
A thousand more regrets unraveling, oh!
If you were here right now
I swear I'd tell you this
[Chorus: All]
Baby, I don't wanna waste another day
Keeping it inside is killing me
'Cause all I ever wanted
Comes right down to you, to you
I wish that I could find the words to say
Baby, I would tell you
Every time you leave I'm inconsolable
[Verse 2: AJ]
I climb the walls, yeah
I can see the edge, but I can't take the fall, no
I've memorized the number
So why can't I make the call?
Maybe 'cause I know you will always be with me
In the possibility, oh-oh-oh!
[Chorus: All & AJ]
Baby, I don't wanna waste another day
(Another day)
Keeping it inside is killing me
'Cause all I ever wanted
Comes right down to you, to you
I wish that I could find the words to say
Baby, I would tell you
Every time you leave I'm inconsolable
(Oh-no, no-no!)
[Bridge: Howie & Nick]
I don't wanna be like this
I just wanna let you now
That everything that I hold in
Is everything I can't let go
Oh-oh, oh! I can't let go
[Chorus: All, Brian, (AJ) & Nick]
Yeah, 'cause baby
I don't wanna waste another day (waste another day)
Keeping it inside is killing me (is killing me 'cause)
'Cause all I ever wanted (all I ever wanted)
Comes right down
To you (to you), to you (to you)
I wish that I could find the words to say
Baby, I would tell you
Every time you leave I'm inconsolable
(No-no-no)
[Interlude: Howie, Nick, (Brian) & All]
Don't you know it baby
I don't wanna waste another day
I wish that I could find the words to say
Baby, I would tell you
Every time you leave I'm inconsolable
Yeah-yeah (yeah-yeah-yeah!)
[Outro: Nick & AJ]
Oh, I'm inconsolable
Whoa, yeah, oh-oh
I'm inconsolable (yeah)
I close the door
Like so many times, so many times before
Filmed like a scene on the cutting room floor
I wanna let you walk away tonight
Without a word

A thousand more regrets unraveling, oh!

Baby, I don't wanna waste another day
Keeping it inside is killing me
'Cause all I ever wanted
