(spoken : ) 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.
C Am F
I just I feel like this is coming to an end,
G C Am
and
it's better for me to let it go now, than hold on and hurt you.
F G
I've gotta
let it burn.
C Am
1. It's gonna burn for me to say this, but
it's comin’ from my heart,
F G
it's
been a long time coming, but we done been fell apart.
C Am
Really wanna
work this out, but I don't think you're gonna change,
F G
I do, but you don't, think it's best we go our separate ways.
C Am
Tell me, why I should stay in
this relationship
F - G

I'm hurting, baby ? I ain't happy, baby.
C Am
Plus there's
so many other things I gotta deal with,

I think that you should let it
burn.
C Am F
When your feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to.
G

let it go cuz the party

ain't jumpin' like it used to, even though this might ruin you,
F G C
let it burn, let it burn, gotta let it burn.
Am - F
Deep down you know it's best for yourself, but you
G
hate the thought of her being with
someone else.
C Am
But you know that it's over, we know that it's through,
F G C
let it burn, let it burn, gotta let it burn.
C Am
2. Sendin' pages I ain't
supposed to, got somebody here but I want you,
F G
’cause the feelin
ain't the same by myself, callin'
her your name.
C
Ladies tell me do you understand ?
