[Intro: Nick]
Oh-no, oh

[Verse 1: Nick with Brian]
Take what you need
'Cause I can't hold my breath
Say what you feel
'Cause I got nothing left, oh
I made a promise to myself last night
I'm gonna keep it if it's wrong or right

[Chorus: All & Nick]
And if I lose it all
There'll be nothing left to lose
And I would take the fall
'Cause knowing you are out there breathing
And it's so wonderful
It's a chance I take even if I break
And I lose it all, if I lose it all
Wouldn't matter anyway

[Verse 2: Kevin with Howie, Kevin with Brian]
Don't change a thing
You're perfect as you are
Time has a way, time is all I got
If my heart should shatter watching you
That'd be one less thing I'd have to prove

[Chorus: All & AJ]
And if I lose it all
There'll be nothing left to lose
And I would take the fall
'Cause knowing you are out there breathing
And it's so wonderful
It's a chance I take even if I break
And I lose it all (lose it all)
If I lose it all (lose it all, oh!)

[Bridge: AJ with Howie]
Heaven will be waiting
When I fall into your open arms
I'll believe you'll find me there
You'll find me there

[Chorus: All, AJ & Nick]
And if I lose it all
There'll be nothing left to lose
And I would take the fall (take the fall)
'Cause knowing you are out there breathing
And it's so wonderful (yeah-yeah)
It's a chance I take even if I break
And I lose it all, (lose it all) if I lose it all
And if I lose it all (hey, yeah-yeah!)
There'll be nothing left to lose (no-no!)
And I would take the fall
'Cause knowing you are out there breathing
(Knowing you are out there breathing)
And it's so wonderful (so wonderful)
It's a chance I take even if I break
And I lose it all (lose it all) if I lose it all
Wouldn't matter anyway

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.
