Lyrics: Burn
Album: Confessions
Artist: 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
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
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 me this ain’t 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 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
I myself have to nert 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 boo-whoo
You’ve been gone for too long
It’s been eleven days, um-teen hours
Imma be burnin’ till you return (let it burn)

[Chorus]
When your feeling me this ain’t your body dont 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
But you know that it’s over
We know that it’s through
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn

[Hook]
I’m twisted cuz on side of me is tellin’ me that
I need to move on , on the other side I wanna
break down and cry oooooo I’m twisted cuz on
side of me is tellin’ me that I need to move on
on the other side I wanna break down and cry like
Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Oo Oo Oo
do you feel me burnin’?
Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Oo
So many Days so many Hours I’m still burnin’ till’ you return

[Chorus]
When your feeling me this ain’t 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)
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
We know that it’s through
Let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
