I don't understand why
See, it's burnin' me to hold onto this
I know this is somethin' I gotta do
But that don't mean I want to
What I'm tryin' to say is that I love you
I just, I feel like this is comin' 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 comin from my heart
It's been a long time comin'
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 hurtin', 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 feelin' 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 hurt you
Let it burn (Yeah)
Let it burn (Ooh)
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, whoa)
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 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, ooh, ooh,
ooh, ooh
Man, I don't know what I'm gonna do without my Boo
You've been gone for too long
It's been fifty-leven days, um-teen hours, I'mma be
burnin' till you return, oh...oh...
When the feelin' 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 ('Cause
my party ain't jumpin' like it used to)
Even though this might hurt you (Let it burn, let it
burn)
Let it burn (You gon' learn)
Let it burn (Gotta let it burn, whoa)
Gotta let it burn
Deep down you know it's best for yourself, but you
(Know what's best for yourself, but you)
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
(Someone else but you)
But you know that it's over (Know it's over), we know
that it's through (Know it's through)
Let it burn (Let it burn)
Let it burn (Ooh, girl, now)
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
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, can ya feel me burnin'
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
So many days, so many hours, I'm still burnin' till
you return
When the feelin' 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 hurt you
Let it burn (Let it burn, let it burn)
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn (Ooh)
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, let it burn, let it burn,
burn)
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
