Burn (Album Version/Radio Mix) by Usher

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 Alexis
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

It's gonna burn for me to say this
It's comin from my heart
It's been a long time coming
But we did't 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 the 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
We know what we've been through
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?
And 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
Oh man I don't know what I'm gonna do
Without my beau
You've been gone for too long
It's been fy-eleven days, un-teen hours
I'mma be burnin' till you return

When the 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 you gotta
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 what we've been through
Let it burn, let it burn
Gotta let it burn

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
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


Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Can you feel me burnin'?
Oh oh oh
So many days, so many hours
I'm still burnin' till you return

When the 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
We know what we've been through
Let it burn, let it burn
Gotta let it burn
