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 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
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
When the 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 bruise you
Let it burn (yeah)
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
We knew it was through
Let it burn (let it burn)
Let it burn (let it burn)
Gotta let it burn
Sendin' pages I ain't supposed to
Got somebody here but I want you
'Cause the feeling 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 coming back
What I got to 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-eleven days, umpteen hours
I'ma be burnin' 'til you return (let it burn)
When the 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 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 (know it's over)
We knew it was through
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
I'm twisted 'cause one side of me is tellin' 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 tellin' 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
So many days, so many hours
I'm still burnin' 'til you return
When the 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 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
We knew it was through
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
