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 its better for me to
Let it go now than hold on and hurt you
I gotta let it burn


[Verse 1]
It's gonna burn for me to say this

But it's comin from my heart
It's been a long time coming
we da 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 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


[Chorus]
When the feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to
But you know gotta let it go cuz the party ain't jumpin' like it used to

Even though this might bruise you
Let it burn
Let it burn you gon' learn

Gotta let it burn
Deep 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 knew it was through
Let it burn

Let it burn
Gotta let it burn


[Verse 2]
Sendin' pages I ain't supposed to
Got somebody here but I want you

Cause the feelin ain't the same find myself
Callin' her your name
Ladies tell me do you understand?

And 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 back
What I gotta do now

To get my shorty back
Ooo ooo ooo ooooh
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 return (let it burn)

[Chorus]

When the feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to
But you know gotta let it go cuz the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Even though this bruise you

Let it burn
Let it burn you gon' learn
Gotta let it burn

Deep 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 knew it was through
Let it burn
Let it burn

Gotta let it burn

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 (ooooh)
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 (yeah)

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh oooh
Ooh ooh oooh (can ya feel me burnin'?)
Ooh ooh ooh oooh ooh oooh


So many days, so many hours
I'm still burnin' till you return

[Chorus]

When the feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to
But you know gotta let it go cuz the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Even though this might bruise you
Let it burn
Let it burn you gon' learn

Gotta let it burn
Deep 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 knew it was through
Let it burn

Let it burn, let it burn
Gotta let it burn
