Burn
亚瑟小子Usher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girl, understand why
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 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 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
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
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
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-eleven days, um-teen hours
I'mma be burnin' till 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
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

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' till 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
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

Overall Meaning

In "Burn," Usher is trying to communicate to his partner that their relationship has reached its end, and even though he still has love for them, it's better if they go their separate ways. The chorus uses the metaphor of a fire, in which Usher acknowledges that it's going to hurt him to let go, but he knows it's necessary to move on. Usher's pain makes this experience all the more difficult. He feels twisted and conflicted because part of him wants to cry and break down while the other side is telling him he needs to move on. In the bridge, he sends messages he knows he should not, revealing his struggle with letting go.

@@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
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Luke 5:32
I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the 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.
