Burn Lyrics

[Intro]

 Girl, 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

 But we done been fell apart

 Really wanna work this out

 But I don't think ya 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 theres so many other things I gotta deal with

 I think that you should let it burn

 

 [Chorus]

 When your 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

 Gotta let it burn

 

 Deep down you know it's best for you except but you

 Hate the thought of her being with someone else

 But you know that it's over

 You know that 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?

 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 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 booo

 You've been gone for too long

 It's been fifty-eleven days, um-teen hours

 Imma be burnin' till you return (let it burn)

 

 [Chorus]

 When your 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, let it burn, you gon'learn)

 Let it burn (gotta let it burn)

 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

 you know that it was through

 Let it burn

 Let it burn

 Gotta let it burn

 

 [Bridge]

 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)

 

 [Breakdown]

 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 your 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

 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

 You know that it was through

 Let it burn

 Let it burn

 Gotta let it burn
