Inconsolable

Backstreet Boys · The Very Best Of Backstreet Boys [2010]

I close the door

Like so many times, so many times before

Filmed like a scene on the cutting room floor

I wanna let you walk away tonight

Without a word



I try to sleep, yeah

But the clock is stuck on thoughts of you and me

A thousand more regrets unraveling, ohh

If you were here right now, I swear

I'd tell you this



Baby I don't want to waste another day

Keeping it inside is killing me

'Cause all I ever want, it comes right down to you, to you

I wish that I could find the words to say

Baby I would tell you every time you leave

I'm inconsolable



I climb the walls, yeah

I can see the edge but I can't take the fall, no

I memorized the number

So why can't I make the call?

Maybe 'cause I know you'll always be with me

In the possibility, oh



Baby I don't want to waste another day (another day)

Keeping it inside is killing me

'Cause all I ever want, it comes right down to you, to you

I wish that I could find the words to say

Baby I would tell you every time you leave

I'm inconsolable



No no no

I don't wanna be like this

I just wanna let you know

Everything that I hold in

Is everything I can't let go

Oh, I can't let go, yeah



'Cause baby I don't want to waste another day

Keeping it inside is killing me

'Cause all I ever want (all I ever wanted)

It comes right down to you (to you), to you (to you)

I wish that I could find the words to say

Baby I would tell you every time you leave

I'm inconsolable, no, no



Don't you know it baby

I don't wanna waste another day



I wish that I could find the words to say

Baby I would tell you every time you leave

I'm inconsolable

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, oh

I'm inconsolable, woah yeah

I'm inconsolable, yeah

Inconsolable - Backstreet Boys

Released on The Very Best Of Backstreet Boys [2010], "Inconsolable" stands as a quintessential example of the group's polished pop-rock sound. The track exemplifies the band's signature blend of melodic hooks and emotional vulnerability, characteristic of their late 1990s and early 2000s era. Produced with the high-quality studio techniques that defined their catalog, the recording features layered harmonies and driving instrumentation typical of the genre. As part of their greatest hits compilation, the song serves as a nostalgic reminder of the boy band's commercial dominance and their ability to craft anthems addressing themes of heartbreak and resilience. Its enduring popularity reflects the lasting impact of their musical identity on the landscape of contemporary pop music.
