[Verse 1: AJ & Howie]
I see your shadow
Even when your not standing there
I feel you when I close my eyes
I've been through it all
And made it out alive
It's only just a matter of time
I won't be (hopeless)
I was so (devoted)
Pieces will come together
I was so (blinded)
My heart is flat (lining)

[Chorus: AJ, AJ & Howie, (Brian) & Nick]
And I promise you, baby
That I've tried
But I can't try no more
And I've cried
But I can't cry no more, oh yeah
And I've tried
But I can't try no more
And I've cried
But I can't cry no more
It's just so impossible going on without you
On without you, no I can't
It's impossible going on without you (going)
On without you, no I can't

[Verse 2: Nick & Howie]
Mmmmh, no!
I hear you walking through the halls
And I know you're not home
The thought of you is all that remains
Wondering if I call
Would you pick up the phone
And tell me that you're feeling the same?
There's nothing left (in me)
My day gets so (empty)
The pieces will come together
I tell myself (blindly)
If I'm wrong, (why me?)

[Chorus: Nick, AJ & Howie, (AJ) & Brian]
And I'm not giving up, baby
But I've tried
But I can't try no more (no more, baby)
And I've cried
But I can't cry no more (oh yeah)
And I've tried
But I can't try no more
And I've cried (oh-no)
But I can't cry no more (it's impossible!)
It's just so impossible going on without you
On without you, no I can't
It's impossible going on without you (going)
On without you, no I can't
It's just so impossible...

[Bridge: Brian & AJ]
I've got an empty bed on my right side
I'm missing you now for a lifetime
I tell myself I'm fine
But I'm lying, I'm lying (yeah)

[Chorus: AJ, AJ & Howie, (Brian) & Nick]
And I promise you, baby
That I've tried
But I can't try no more
And I've cried
But I can't cry no more
No more (I'm trying, baby)
And I've tried, yeah-hey!
But I can't try no more
And I've cried
But I can't cry no more
It's just so impossible going on without you
On without you, no I can't
It's just so impossible going..
It's impossible going on without you (going)
On without you, no I can't

[Outro: Nick & Brian]
It's just so impossible going...
On without you, on without you, no I can't
It's just so impossible going...
It's impossible going on without you (going)
On without you, no I can't
It's just so impossible going...

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.
