[Verse 1: AJ with Brian]
I can see in your eyes
Broken windows, falling skies
Baby baby, what you hiding from?
The light that followed you around
Lately, nowhere to be found
Don't you know that I'm your place to run?

[Chorus: Brian with All, Howie]
You've been holding on so long
Tryna' make believe that nothing's wrong
Not letting it show
And there ain't nothing you can do
To make me turn away from you
I need you to know
That you can let go

[Verse 2: AJ with Brian, (Brian) & Howie]
Sifting through the shattered dreams
Living in the in-between
Baby baby, it's gonna be alright (alright)
(You can let go)
And when you're lost, let down
Disappointed and jerked around in this cold
I will always be by your side
Oh-oh-oh-oh!

[Chorus: Nick with All, Howie]
You've been holding on so long
Tryna' make believe that nothing's wrong
Not letting it show
There ain't nothing you can do
To make me turn away from you
I need you to know
That you can let go

[Bridge: Howie with All, Brian]
Don't be afraid when you're falling apart
Don't hesitate, I'll be right where you are
Open your eyes, there's a crack in the dark
Never let me see you cry
You locked it somewhere deep inside
Baby baby, let me hold you tight
Make it alright

[Interlude: All & Brian]
Baby baby, it's gonna be alright
'Cause I'm by your side
When the whole world turns against you
Yeah-yeah (I won't turn against you)
Baby baby, it's gonna be alright
'Cause I'm by your side
When the whole world turns against you
Yeah-yeah (I won't turn against you)
You can let go

[Chorus: Nick with All, AJ]
You've been holding on so long
Tryna' make believe that nothing's wrong
Not letting it show (said you can let go)
There ain't nothing you can do
To make me turn away from you
I need you to 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.
