Burn

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 tryna 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've gotta let it burn

It's gonna burn for me to say this

But it's coming from my heart

It's been a long time coming

But we done been fell apart

I really wanna work this out

But I don't think you're gonna change ya

I do, but you don't think it's best we go our separate ways

Tell 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 burn

When the feeling ain't the same in your body

Don't want to, but you know, gotta let it go

'Cause the party ain't jumping like it used to (No, no)

Even though this might bruise you

Let it burn, let it burn, gotta let it burn

Deep down you know what's best for yourself

But you hate the thought of her being with someone else

But you know that it's over, been knowing it was through

Let it burn, let it burn, gotta let it burn (Let it burn, let it burn)

Sending pages I ain't supposed to

Got somebody here, but I want you

'Cause the feeling ain't the same

Find myself calling 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 coming back

What I gotta do now to get my shorty back?

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

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, umpteen hours

I'ma be burning till you return (Let it burn)

When the feeling ain't the same in your body

Don't want to, but you know, gotta let it go

'Cause the party ain't jumping like it used to

Even though this might bruise you

Let it burn, let it burn, gotta let it burn (Let it burn, you gon' learn, gotta let it burn)

Deep down you know what's best for yourself

But you hate the thought of her being with someone else

But you know that it's over, been knowing it was through

Let it burn, let it burn, gotta let it burn

I'm twisted 'cause one side of me

Is telling me that I need to move on

On the other side I wanna break down and cry

Ooh, I'm twisted 'cause one side of me

Is telling me that I need to move on

On the other side I wanna break down and cry, yeah

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Can you feel me burning?

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Too many days, so many hours

I'm still burning till you return (Let it burn)

When the feeling ain't the same in your body

Don't want to, but you know, gotta let it go

'Cause the party ain't jumping like it used to

Even though this might bruise you

Let it burn, let it burn, gotta let it burn (Let it burn, let it burn)

Deep down you know what's best for yourself

But you hate the thought of her being with someone else

But you know that it's over, been knowing it was through

Let it burn, let it burn, gotta let it burn
