Backstreet Boys - Inconsolable lyrics 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 Ooh, if you were here right now, I swear I'd tell you this [Chorus:] Baby I don't wanna waste another day Keeping 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 [Chorus] 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 (ooh, can't let go) Cause BABYYYYY [Chorus] 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 Oooh, I'm inconsolable Whoaa yeah I'm inconsolable

I would like to think it as a scene from a typical couple where the wife is working overseas hahaha. The husband has no choice but to allow the wife to go due to financial incapacity of the family. And everytime the wife leaves for work, the husband is 'inconsolable'

actually, my first thought was that the song is all about gf-bf breaking up and making up and breaking up again..but I would like to explain it in a different perspective so that was what I thought =)

I think the song is about a couple - boyfriend, girlfriend. And the guy wants to let go of the girl event though that is not really what he wanted. Then the girl keeps on coming back but the guy cant do anything else but to avoid the girl.Maybe there are somethings or some reasons thats keeping them apart thats why the guy rather choose to set the girl free to avoid some consequences or anything that may happen if they continue their relationship.

I wonder what consequences are these that it's really difficult to love
