[Intro: Nick]
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah, oh-oh

[Verse 1: AJ]
So empty, can't feel no more
As I'm left with my tears on the floor
I wait for my heart to mend
But you keep tearing a hole, oh-oh

[Pre-Chorus: Brian]
Oh! Inside, I am so lost
In the middle of my heart
It's a battlefield of love
I've been fighting far too long

[Chorus: Brian, Nick & All]
And now I'm shattered
From you chipping my heart
Kept taking it till it broke
Oh how it hurts
Felt it slip from your hands
Hit the ground and now it's shattered
I'm so shattered
(Can't believe it was me, I'm so shattered)
So shattered
(Can't believe you hurt me, ah-ah-ah-ah)
So shattered
(Can't believe you left me, I'm so shattered)
Shattered, cut from with-inside

[Verse 2: Nick]
Oh! What am I still here for?
Could it be that I'm just waiting?
Hoping you'd rescue me
And put the pieces together again

[Pre-Chorus: Howie]
Inside, I am so lost
In the middle of my heart
It's a battlefield of love
I've been fighting far too long

[Chorus: Brian, Nick with Howie, (AJ) & All]
And now I'm shattered (oh!)
From you chipping my heart
Kept taking it till it broke
Oh how it hurts
Felt it slip from your hands (your hands)
Hit the ground and now it's shattered
I'm so shattered
(Can't believe it was me, I'm so shattered)
So shattered
(Can't believe you hurt me, ah-ah-ah-ah)
So shattered
(Can't believe you left me, I'm so shattered)
Shattered, cut from with-inside

[Bridge: Nick & Howie]
Tell me what you're really here for
If you never really loved me
I gave my all but it still wasn't enough
'Cause all you had to say was that you ain't
Looking for commitment
Instead of telling me what I wanted to hear, oh-oh!
You took my emotions
And scattered them on the ground
So hard to just pick up
And move on with life again

[Chorus: Brian, Nick, (AJ) & All]
And now I'm shattered (oh-oh-oh!)
From you chipping my heart
Kept taking it till it broke
Oh how it hurts
Felt it slip from your hands
Hit the ground and now it's shattered
I'm so shattered
(Can't believe it was me, I'm so shattered)
So shattered
(Can't believe you hurt me, ah-ah-ah-ah)
So shattered
(Can't believe you left me, I'm so shattered)
Shattered, cut from with-inside

[Outro: AJ & Brian]
So shattered (oh yes)
I can't believe you left me so shattered

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.
