Burn   Usher

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 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 gotta let it burn 

[Verse 1] 
It's gonna burn for me to say this 
But 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 separate² 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 ain't the same and your body don't want to 
But you know gotta let it go cuz the party ain't jumpin' like it used³ to 
Even though this might ruin⁴ 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 being⁵ 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 by 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 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 booo 
You've been gone for too long 
It's been fifty-leven days, um-teen hours 
Imma be burnin' till you return (let it burn) 

[Chorus] 
When your feeling ain't the same and 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 ruin you 
Let it burn (let it burn, let it burn, you gon'learn) 
Let it burn (gotta let it burn) 
Gotta let it burn 

Deep down you know its 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 

[Bridge] 
I'm twisted⁶ cuz one side of me is tellin' me that I need to move on 
On the other side I wanna break down and cry (ooooh) 
I'm twisted cuz one side of me is tellin' me that I need to move on 
On the other side I wanna break down and cry (yeah) 

[Breakdown] 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh oooh 
Ooh ooh oooh (can ya feel me burnin'?) 
Ooh ooh ooh oooh ooh oooh 

So many days, so many hours 
I'm still burnin' till you return 

 

折磨（中文翻译来自互联网）　亚瑟小子

希望你能了解这样下去只是折磨我 有些事我必须做
但并不是出于我自愿 我要说的是 我-爱-你
但我们已经到了该结束的时候 对我而言及时放手是正确的选择
即使这样会伤害你 就让我承担这份折磨
要我开口何尝不是一种折磨

这感觉压在心理以久 尝试了怎么久还是白费 虽然我尽力而为
却改变不了你 分开大概对我们最好 好给我一个继续下去的的理由
我心痛的时候 我并不快乐 何况还有很多问题等着解决 就这样吧

（副歌）
折磨我吧 但你的感觉不在熟悉 知道我非如此不可
从冷静的PARTY就能看出 即使你会难受
来吧 来折磨我吧 就来折磨我吧
只有你知道自己到底要什么
我痛恨你跟别人在一起 但一切都结束了 一切都过去了
来吧 折磨我吧 就来折磨我吧

我传了些不该传的讯息给你 我有了新的女朋友但我要得却是你
她不能取代你能呢能给你的感觉 我会对她喊你的名字
女士们 我想你们一定会了解 兄弟们 你们都懂我的痛苦吧
这是我的感受 我明白我犯了错 现在为时以晚 我也知道她不会回来了
我只想让她回到我身边 少了他我不知所措 你已离开太久

（副歌）
我已头昏脑胀 虽然我了解日子终究要过 却还是活在崩溃边缘
我已头昏脑胀 虽然我了解日子终究要过 却还是活在崩溃边缘
你能体会吗 经过了怎么久 我仍然承受着折磨 等待着你
