Trivia 1: Peter Svensson from The Cardigans plays guitar on this track. This song lasts, mainly due to the melodies and the song as a whole, despite some dodgy lyrics try playing the song on acoustic guitar and you will realise it has Brill Building qualities. However, this is just a clever ruse that leads up to the best part of the song, the Cheironic bliss of the ultra-climax at the 02:37 mark, where the key change, synths, and harmonies where all of the guys join in the singing- “ I’m looking back/on things I’ve done” - nails the real triumph of this song, as noted by the top-10 chart positions across the globe, not to mention holding the record-breaking two-month top position at MTV’s “Total Request Live”, and being included in Backstreet Boys first greatest hits compilation. I’m here with my confession Got nothing to hide no more I don’t know where to start But to show you the shape of my heart Towards the end of the song, at the 02:12 mark, Nick Carter starts crooning his pain out while the song is stripped of most instruments: Lookin’ back on the things I’ve done I was tryin’ to be someone I played my part, kept you in the dark Now let me show you the shape of my heart
The lyrics build from a single four-line verse where the first-person begs forgiveness, toward an emotional self-incrimination, perhaps self-realisation and subsequent release:īaby, please try to forgive me Stay here, don’t put out the glow Hold me now, don’t bother, if every minute it makes me weaker You can save me from the man that I’ve become, oh yeah Try avoiding to look at the cover of the single, the members’ looks in the video, and you’re fine.
