[Chorus: JC & Justin]
It's tearin' up my heart when I'm with you
But when we are apart, I feel it too
And no matter what I do, I feel the pain
With or without you

[Verse 1: JC with Chris]
Baby, I don't understand
Just why we can't be lovers
Things are getting out of hand
Trying too much, but baby, we can't win

[Pre-Chorus: JC with Chris]
Let it go
If you want me girl, let me know
I am down on my knees
I can't take it anymore

[Chorus: All]
It's tearin' up my heart when I'm with you
But when we are apart, I feel it too
And no matter what I do, I feel the pain
With or without you

[Interlude: JC]
Oh-oh-oh, alright

[Verse 2: Justin with Chris, JC & All]
Baby don't misunderstand (don't misunderstand)
What I'm trying to tell ya
In the corner of my mind (corner of my mind)
Baby, it feels like we're running out of time

[Pre-Chorus: Justin with Chris]
Let it go
If you want me girl, let me know
I am down on my knees
I can't take it anymore, oh-oh

[Chorus: All]
It's tearin' up my heart when I'm with you
But when we are apart, I feel it too
And no matter what I do, I feel the pain
With or without you

[Bridge: All, JC & Justin]
Tearin' up my heart and soul
We're apart, I feel it too
And no matter what I do, I feel the pain
With or without you
Tearin' up my heart and soul (alright)
We're apart, I feel it too (I feel it too)
And no matter what I do, I feel the pain
With or without you

[Chorus: All]
It's tearin' up my heart when I'm with you
But when we are apart, I feel it too
And no matter what I do, I feel the pain
With or without you

[Outro: All]
And no matter what I do, I feel the pain
With or without you
