Only Love
Braxtons The Lyrics

I'm over you somehow
Despite the pain of the past, I have finally moved on from you.

Only love knows how
Love has the power to help us move on from heartbreak.

I have the strength to move on again
Love provides the inner strength to start anew after a heartbreak.

The more you put me down
Despite your efforts to break my spirit, love gave me the strength to persevere.

'Cause love knows how
Love has the uncanny ability to help us overcome even the most difficult of situations.

It gave me the strength to move on
Love has given me the power to let go of the past and embrace the future.

Spent so many days wondering what's my chances
I spent a lot of time questioning whether or not we could make things work.

I never thought I'd be alone
I never imagined that our relationship would end in heartbreak and loneliness.

When all I really needed was answers
All I needed from you was honesty and clarity about where our relationship was headed.

For the love that you've given to me (the love you give to me)
I was grateful for the love you gave me, even though it ultimately ended in heartbreak.

Where we are where we're at
We've arrived at a point where our relationship cannot move forward.

Boy I could not see
I was blinded to the reality of our relationship by my own desires.

Every night (every night) that I cry (that I cry)
I spent many nights crying over the loss of our relationship.

I needed you here by my side
I longed for your presence and support during the difficult times.

But now I'm over you
Despite my pain, I have finally moved on from you and the past.

Had to use my mind
I had to rely on my own strength of mind to make sense of my feelings.

Couldn't use my heart
I had to stop relying solely on my emotions and start thinking critically about our relationship.

I didn't want to see us apart
I tried to ignore the signs that we were heading towards a breakup.

This vision is so clear to me
I now see clearly that our relationship was not meant to be.

That we were not meant to be (that we were not meant to be)
Our relationship was ultimately not meant to work out.

The desire inside wouldn't let me be
Even though our relationship was not meant to be, my heart still desired to make things work.

Life goes on until the new beginning (ooh ahh ahh)
Even though our relationship ended, life goes on and new beginnings are still possible.

Set me free from all of these feelings
I need to let go of the negative feelings associated with our breakup to move on.

Now I can see that love's no guarantee (ooh ahh ahh)
I now understand that love is not a guarantee and that it requires work and effort to make a relationship work.

That's why I hold it all inside of me
I'm keeping my feelings about love inside of me until I'm ready to try again.

Only love knows how (knows how)
Love has a unique and powerful ability to help us move on from pain and heartbreak.

Knows how
Love has the wisdom and strength to guide us through even the darkest of times.

Only love knows how (knows how)
Love has a unique understanding of how to help us heal and move on from pain.

Knows how
Love has the power to give us the strength and courage we need to embrace a new beginning.
