[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 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
|
|
[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 ruin 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
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
Sendin' pages I ain't supposed to
|
Got somebody here but I want you
|
Cause the feelin ain't the same by 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-leven 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 ruin you
|
Let it burn (let it burn, let it burn, you gon'learn)
|
Let it burn (gotta let it burn)
|
