[Intro]

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

[Verse 1]

It's gonna burn for me to say this
But it's comin from my heart
It's been a long time comin
But we done been fell apart
I really wanna work this out
But I don't think it's gonna change-e
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 hurtin' baby, I ain't happy baby
'Cause 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
'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
You know that it's 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 knew I made a mistake
Now it's too late
Now she ain't comin back
What I gotta do now now

To get my shorty back
Ooo ooo ooo ooooh
Man I don't know what I'm gonna do
Without my boo-ooh
You've been gone for too long
It's been fifty eleven days, umpteen hours
I'm'a be 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 'cause the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Even though this might bruise you
Let it burn (let it burn, you gon learn, you go burn)
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's through
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn

[Bridge]

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 (ooooh)
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 (cry)

[Breakdown]

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

Too 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 '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 know that it's through
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
