"Burn" lyrics
(originally by Usher)
It's gonna burn for me to say this
It's coming 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
When your feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to
But you know gotta let it go 'cause the party ain't
Jumping like it used to
Even though this might bruise you
Let it burn (let it burn), 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 through
Let it burn (let it burn), let it burn (let it burn)
Gotta let it burn
Sending pages I ain't supposed to
Got somebody here, but I want you
'Cause the feeling ain't the same
Find myself calling 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 coming 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, umpteen hours
I'ma be burning 'til you return
When your feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to
But you know gotta let it go 'cause the party ain't
Jumping like it used to
Even though this might bruise you
Let it burn (let it burn), 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 through
Let it burn (let it burn), let it burn (let it burn)
Gotta let it burn
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh (can you hear me burning)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
So many days, so many hours
I'm still burning 'til you return
You got it, you got it bad
When you're on the phone
Hang up and you call right back
You got it, you got it bad
When you miss a day without your friend
Your whole life's off track
I'm twisted 'cause one side of me is telling me
That I need to move on
On the side that wanna break down and cry
I'm twisted 'cause one side of me is telling me
That I need to move on
On the side that wanna break down and cry
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 through
Let it burn (let it burn), let it burn (let it burn)
Gotta let it burn
It's coming 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
When your feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to
But you know gotta let it go 'cause the party ain't
Jumping like it used to
Even though this might bruise you
Let it burn (let it burn), 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 through
Let it burn (let it burn), let it burn (let it burn)
Gotta let it burn
Sending pages I ain't supposed to
Got somebody here, but I want you
'Cause the feeling ain't the same
Find myself calling 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 coming 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

Gotta let it burn
Deep down, you know it's best for yourself, but you

Let it burn (let it burn), let it burn (let it burn)

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
So many days, so many hours
I'm still burning 'til you return
You got it, you got it bad

Hang up and you call right back
You got it, you got it bad
When you miss a day without your friend
Your whole life's off track
I'm twisted 'cause one side of me is telling me

On the side that wanna break down and cry
I'm twisted 'cause one side of me is telling me
That I need to move on
On the side that wanna break down and cry
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 through
Let it burn (let it burn), let it burn (let it burn)
Gotta let it burn
