[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 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 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 cause 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 feeling 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 coming back 
What I gotta do now 
To get my shorty back 
Oh oh oh oh 
Man I don’t know what I’m gonna do 
Without my boo 
You’ve been gone for too long 
It’s been fifty-eleven days, um-teen hours 
I’mma 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 cause 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 gonna 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 cause one side of me is tellin’ me that I need to move on 
On the other side I wanna break down and cry (oh) 
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) 

[Breakdown] 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh oh 
Ooh ooh oh (can ya feel me burnin’?) 
Ooh ooh ooh oh ooh oh 

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 cause 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
