Burn
Usher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
See it's burning me to hold onto this
I know this is something that 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 it's better for me to let it go now than hold on and hurt you
I've gotta let it burn
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 you 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 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 (oh no)
Even though this might bruise you
Let it burn (yeah)
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 knew 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?
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-leven days, umpteen hours
I'ma be burnin' 'til you return (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 (let it burn, you gon' 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 (know it's over)
We knew it was through (know it's through)
Let it burn (yeah, baby)
Let it burn (ooh, girl, I)
Gotta let it burn
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)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh (can you feel me burnin'?)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
So many days, so many hours
I'm still burnin' 'til you return
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)
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
Deep down (ooh, deep own inside you)
You know it's best for yourself but you (know what's best for you)
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
But you know that it's over (it's over)
We knew it was through
Let it burn (let it burn) (let it burn, let it burn)
Let it burn (let it burn) (let it burn, ohh)
Gotta let it burn
Usher's "Burn" is a song about a man who is struggling to stay in a relationship that he knows is no longer working. He understands why it's better for him to let it go, but it's burning him to hold on. He loves the person, but he feels like it's coming to an end. He thinks it's best to let it go now, rather than hurt her by holding on. The chorus "Gotta let it burn" emphasizes his feeling of letting go of the relationship.
In the second verse, he talks about how he really wants to work it out, but he doesn't think that his partner will change. He feels like he's hurting, and he's not happy. He thinks that there are so many other things he has to deal with, and he believes that it's best if they go their separate ways. The bridge emphasizes his internal battle to move on from the relationship. One side of him is telling him to move on, while the other side wants to break down and cry.
Overall, "Burn" is a song about the difficult process of letting go of a relationship that is no longer working. It emphasizes the struggle to move on, the internal battle between holding on and letting go, and the importance of prioritizing one's well-being.

@@blacklightfamilycircle4425 These souls, who are the most deeply in the lies, shall have the most powerful testimony's if they come to REPENTANCE.
Every one, EVERY ONE is called to repentance, to born again, to count the cost of becoming CHRISTIAN.
For we all are HUMAN BEINGS and sinned and fallen short in the glory of GOD, therefore to us all a way to SALVATION is given, THROUGH CHRIST goes the only way, WHICH IS NARROW not wide.
"people are uncomfortable speaking about this" - that`s because they SIN that bad.
And if truth hurts us that bad, we then better pray, that we never gonna know nor understand how badly sick and evil we have become all these 3 times:
- before the flood,
- before the burn up city,
- now, before the fire.
3 blown up chances. Why are we worry about climate changes? No climate change. All we do witness is THE (RIGHTEOUS) WRATH OF GOD. Why? - cause we`re SICK AND EVIL. Were WICKED.
Souls, time to stop using all these emojis and hand signs, for all these origin from masonry and do so in both places: online and offline.
Romans 3:23
Forย allย haveย sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Luke 5:32
I came not to call the righteous, butย sinnersย to repentance.
John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I amย theย way,ย theย truth,ย andย theย life: no man cometh untoย theย Father, but by me.
All the famous and rich names give up being a CHRISTIAN (if they, a FTMs and MTFs even were ) on that very moment they signed the contract or as they also admit, that they did made the deal with the devil.
