I don't understand why
See it's burning me to hold onto this
I know this is something I gotta do
But that don't mean I want to
What I'm trying to say is that I love you, I just
I feel like this is coming to an end
And it's better for me to let it go now than hold on and hurt you
I gotta let it burnIt's gonna burn for me to say this
But it's comin' from my heart
It's been a long time coming
But we done been fell apart
Really wanna work this out
But I don't think you're gonna change
I do but you don't
Think it's best we go our separate waysTell me why I should stay in this relationship
When I'm hurting baby, I ain't happy baby
Plus there's so many other things I gotta deal with
I think that you should let it burnWhen your feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to
But you know gotta let it go
'Cause the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Even though this might ruin you
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burnDeep down you know it's best for yourself but you
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
But you know that it's over
We know that it's through
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burnSendin' pages I ain't supposed to
Got somebody here but I want you
'Cause the feelin' ain't the same by myself
Callin' her your name
Ladies tell me do you understand?
Now all my fellas do you feel my pain?
It's the way I feel, I know I made a mistake
Now it's too late I know she ain't comin' backWhat I gotta do now
To get my shorty back
Man I don't know what I'm gonna do
Without my boo
You've been gone for too long
It's been fifty-leven days, um-teen hours
Imma be burnin' till you returnWhen your feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to
But you know gotta let it go
'Cause the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Even though this might ruin you
Let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burnDeep down you know its best for yourself but you
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
But you know that it's over
We know that it's through
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burnI'm twisted 'cuz one side of me is tellin' me that I need to move on
On the other side I wanna break down and cry
I'm twisted 'cuz one side of me is tellin' me that I need to move on
On the other side I wanna break down and cry, yeahOoh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh can ya feel me burnin'?
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
So many days, so many hours
I'm still burnin' till you returnWhen your feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to
But you know gotta let it go
'Cause the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Even though this might ruin you
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burnDeep down you know it's best for yourself but you
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
But you know that it's over
We know that it's through
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
