Inconsolable
Backstreet Boys (新好男孩) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
I swear I'd tell you this
Baby I don't wanna waste another day
Keepin it inside, it's killing me
'Cause all I ever wanted 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've memorized the number
So why can't I make the call
Maybe 'cause I know you'll always be with me
In the possibility
Baby I don't wanna waste another day
Keepin it inside, it's killing me
'Cause all I ever wanted 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
That everything I hold in
Is everything I can't let go (oh, can't let go)
'Cause
Baby I don't wanna waste another day
Keepin it inside, it's killing me
'Cause all I ever wanted 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
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
Oh, I'm inconsolable
Whoa yeah
I'm inconsolable
The Backstreet Boys' song Inconsolable is a ballad about heartbreak and regret. The singer is speaking to a former love interest who has left without a word, and he is struggling to come to terms with the loss. He has tried to move on, but thoughts of the past keep intruding on his thoughts. He wishes he could find the words to tell her how he feels, but the pain is so great that he is "inconsolable."
The lyrics are raw and emotional, conveying a sense of despair that anyone who has been through a painful breakup can relate to. The song's slow tempo and soaring melodies add to the sense of longing and sadness that pervades the track. The repetition of the chorus, with the singer declaring that he is "inconsolable" every time she leaves, emphasizes the depth of his pain and how powerless he feels to do anything about it.

I close the door
I repeat the same cycle of shutting the door on you after every argument
Like so many times, so many times before
I've lost count of how many times we've gone through this
Filmed like a scene on the cutting room floor
Our love story seems like a rejected movie scene, cut and forgotten
I wanna let you walk away tonight without a word
I'm tired of fighting and I've given up, so I'll let you go without any more words
I try to sleep, yeah
Even though I'm exhausted, I can't seem to find any peace
But the clock is stuck on thoughts of you and me
Every thought I have eventually leads back to you and me
A thousand more regrets unraveling
I'm overwhelmed by the regrets and mistakes that I can't undo
Oh, if you were here right now, I swear I'd tell you this
If you were here with me, I'd finally tell you what's been weighing on my heart
Baby I don't wanna waste another day
I can't keep pretending that everything is okay, and I don't want to waste any more time
Keepin it inside, it's killing me
Holding back my feelings and emotions is taking a toll on me
'Cause all I ever wanted comes right down to you, to you
Everything I've ever wanted in life revolves around you
I wish that I could find the words to say
I'm struggling to express myself because I don't know how to put my feelings into words
No, no, no
I'm not okay, and everything is not alright
I don't wanna be like this
I don't want to keep living in this emotional turmoil
I just wanna let you know
I just want you to understand how much you mean to me
That everything I hold in
I'm hiding so much pain and heartache
Is everything I can't let go (oh, can't let go)
All of these emotions are consuming me, and I don't know how to let them go
I climb the walls, yeah
I'm feeling trapped and suffocated
I can see the edge,
I'm so close to breaking point
But I can't take the fall, no
I'm not ready to face the consequences of letting go
I've memorized the number
I know your phone number by heart
So why can't I make the call
But I can't bring myself to call you
Maybe 'cause I know you'll always be with me
Maybe it's because I know deep down that you'll never really leave me completely
In the possibility
There's always a chance that we could make things work
Don't you know it baby
Do you not understand just how much you mean to me?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm overwhelmed and can't find the right words to express myself
Oh, I'm inconsolable
I'm heartbroken and can't be comforted
Whoa yeah
This pain is so intense and all-consuming
I'm inconsolable
I'm so devastated that I can't even find solace or comfort anywhere
