Brokenhearted
Brandy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm young but I'm wise
Enough to know that you
Don't fall in love over night (oh yeah)
That's why I thought if
I took my time, that everything
In love would be right
I was saying to love goodbye
But I guess I'm
Lonely, brokenhearted
Life's not over
I can start again
While I'm lonely, brokenhearted
It's a hurting thing to get over
No more empty conversation
Next time I will be totally sure, oh yeah
Don't want the pain of falling
In and out of love
It's more than my poor heart should endure
So I listen to all advice
And remember each time I cry
That I guess I'm
Lonely, brokenhearted
Life's not over
I can start again
While I'm lonely, brokenhearted
It's a hurting thing to get over
Lonely (lonely) brokenhearted (brokenhearted)
Life's not over
I can start again
While I'm lonely (lonely), brokenhearted
It's a hurting thing to get over (it's a hurting, yeah)
Starting all over again (starting all over, yeah)
So I listen to all advice
And remember each time I cry, oh
Only (only) brokenhearted (brokenhearted)
Life's not over (life's not over)
I can start again
While I'm lonely, brokenhearted (brokenhearted)
It's a hurting thing to get over
Lonely brokenhearted (brokenhearted)
Life's not over
I can start again (starting all over again, oh)
While I'm lonely brokenhearted (brokenhearted)
It's a hurting thing to get over
(Starting all over again, oh) thing to get over
Lonely, brokenhearted
Life's not over
I can start again
While I'm lonely, brokenhearted
It's a hurting thing to get over, over
The lyrics of Brokenhearted by Brandy and Wanya Morris describe the heartache that comes with falling in and out of love. The singer laments that despite her young age, she has learned that love doesn't happen overnight and that taking her time would lead to a successful outcome. However, she soon discovers that even when being cautious, love can be unpredictable, and the pain of a broken heart is a universal experience. She resolves to take the advice of others and avoid empty conversations and the emotional turmoil that comes with falling deeply in love. She acknowledges that it's difficult to recover from a broken heart, but she's determined to keep soldiering on and start again.
The song underscores the notion that heartbreak is an intrinsic part of love and relationships. People must take risks and open themselves up to others to find happiness and companionship but must also be prepared to deal with the possibility of heartbreak. Brandy and Wanya Morris' poignant lyrics capture the feeling of loss and confusion that often comes with the end of a relationship. Still, it also conveys the hope that comes from the opportunity to learn from difficult experiences, grow emotionally, and embark on new beginnings.
