Burn

Usher

[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) 
Gotta let it burn 

Deep down you know its 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 

[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 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
