后街男孩（ Backstreet）是一支美国流行乐组合，1993年于美国佛罗里达州奥兰多市成立，成立之初五位成员都不过十几岁。至今为止他们已经在美国销售了3800万张唱片，全球销量近9000万张，是自九十年代中期以来最受欢迎的男生组合。由于他们在美国当时是较早的一个男孩团体，所以被誉为“男孩团体皇上皇”。“Inconsolable”被收录进后街男孩的专辑《不散的和弦》。

I close the door
Like so many times, so many times before
Felt like a scene on the cutting room floor
When I 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
CHORUS¹:
Baby I don't want to waste another day
Keeping it inside it's killing² me
'Cause all I ever want, it comes right down to you
I'm wishing I could find the words to say
Baby I would tell you every time you leave
I'm inconsolable
I climb the walls
I can see the edge³ 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
I don't want to be like this, 
I just want to let you know, 
Everything that I'm holding, 
Is everything I can't let go, can't let go.
