[Intro]
N.C
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
D(add9) Bm7
I feel like this is coming to an end
G(add9) D(add9) Bm7 G(add9)
And it's better for me to let it go now than hold on and hurt you
Em7 A
I gotta let it burn
