[Intro]
Girl, 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 ya gonna change ya
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
You know that it was 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-eleven 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, let it burn, you gon`learn)
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 was through
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

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 was through
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
