[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 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 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 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 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 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-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 bruise you

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
