[Verse 1: AJ & Brian]
Here we are, seven days
And seven nights of empty tries
It's ritual, habitual
But it's never gonna work this time
We're to the point of no return
And along the way the only thing
We learned is how to hurt each other
I'm looking back and wondering why
It took so long to realize
That nothing's changed, it never will
All these years of standing still
And still we stay in all this pain
And nothing's gonna make it go away
Yeah-yeah, yeah!

[Chorus: Nick with All, Nick & Brian]
I don't wanna wait another minute
Put me out of my misery
I can read your mind baby you're not in it
And we're not what we used to be
No you wouldn't have to lie to me
If you would only let me go
And I don't wanna wait another minute to hear
Something that I already know
I know, I know, I know
Something that I already know
I know, I know, I know

[Verse 2: AJ & Nick]
So save your voice, don't waste your breath
Can't you see we're at the end
And this goodbye is permanent
So wish me well and try to forget (mmmh)
And all the fights and all the ways
We almost made it but we never did
And it's finally come to this

[Chorus: Nick with All, Nick]
I don't wanna wait another minute
Put me out of my misery
I can read your mind baby you're not in it
And we're not what we used to be (used to be)
No you wouldn't have to lie to me
If you would only let me go (let me go!)
And I don't wanna wait another minute to hear
Something that I already know!

[Bridge: AJ with All, AJ & All]
We cannot hide what we've become
So sick and tired of being numb
It's done, it's done (oh-oh-oh!)
It's done (oh-oh-oh!)

[Chorus: All, Nick & Brian]
I don't wanna wait another minute
Put me out of my misery
I can read your mind baby you're not in it
And we're not what we used to be (what we used to be)
No you wouldn't have to lie to me
If you would only let me go
And I don't wanna wait another minute
(Wait another minute!) To hear
Something that I already know
I know, I know, I know
Something that I already know
I know, I know, I know (oh-whoa!)
Something that I already know...
(I know, I know, I know)

[Outro: Brian]
I know, 'cause I know

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.
