Just Want You To Know

Backstreet Boys

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Nick]
Looking at your picture
From when we first met
You gave me a smile that I could never forget
And nothing I could do
Could protect me from you that night
Wrapped around your finger, always on my mind
The days would blend
'Cause we stayed up all night
Yeah you and I were everything, everything to me

[Chorus: All & Nick]
I just want you to know
That I've been fighting to let you go
Some days I make it through
And then there's nights that never end
I wish that I could believe
That there's a day you'll come back to me
But still I have to say I would do it all again
Just want you to know

[Verse 2: AJ with Howie & Brian, AJ with Brian]
All the doors are closing
I'm trying to move ahead
And deep inside I wish it's me instead
My dreams are empty from the day
The day you slipped away
[Chorus: All]
I just want you to know
That I've been fighting to let you go
Some days I make it through
And then there's nights that never end
I wish that I could believe
That there's a day you'll come back to me
But still I have to say I would do it all again
Just want you to know

[Bridge: AJ with Kevin & All]
That since I lost you, I lost myself
No I can't fake it, there's no one else

[Chorus: Nick with Kevin, (AJ) & All]
I just want you to know
That I've been fighting to let you go
Some days I make it through
And then there's nights that never end
I wish that I could believe
That there's a day you'll come back to me (back to me)
But still I have to say, I have to say!
I would do it all again (again!)
Just want you to know

[Outro: All & Nick]
'Cause I've been fighting to let you go
Some days I make it through
And then there's nights that never end
I wish that I could believe
That there's a day you'll come back to me
But still I have to say I would do it all again
Just want you to knowEmbed
