In a candid interview on "ABC's Good Morning America" Wednesday, the Jonas Brothers opened up about why their group fell apart.

"I think it was time, and for us it took some time getting there, but we feel like it's time that the Jonas Brothers come to an end," said the oldest brother Kevin.

The siblings--Kevin Jonas, 25, Joe Jonas, 24, and Nick Jonas, 21--met with fans in New York City's Times Square prior to being interviewed, revealing to GMA's Robin Roberts that it was Nick who "initiated" the conversation regarding the breakup.

"We're family first, and that's always been our main priority, and so honesty within what we do as a group was really important. I came to the table with the guys just before we were prepping to leave for tour, and I shared my heart with them, my feelings," he said. "In a nutshell, I said, 'Look, I feel like we've had some complications within the group for a long time without addressing them. I think this train will fall off the tracks without really getting real about some of the concerns and some of the limitations that we may feel as individuals in the group.' It was a tough conversation...It was the first time we really had that real conversation. It was a few days of working through it."

Nick added that they're reached a place where they "feel like we're best suited to do our own individual things, all things we're passionate about, and choose to be brothers first."

Joe said they butted heads over everything from music videos to individual opportunities. "At some point, we decided it was best to finish this and support each other and our own ventures down the way," he said.

Although has squashed plans to drop a fifth studio album, Kevin said that they will release four news songs for their fans. "The album will actually not be completed, but we will be doing something for our fans," Kevin said. "They have traveled with us and been with us for so many years that we did not want to just leave without giving them back something. So what we're going to do is, we're going to release four unreleased songs from the album. The rest of the album will be never released."
