Burn -- Usher

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

(**) 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 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

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  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)
