From The Bottom Of My Broken H
Britney Spears Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Never look back, we said
How was I to know I'd miss you so?
Loneliness up ahead, emptiness behind
Where do I go?

And you didn't hear
All my joy through my tears
All my hopes through my fears
Did you now, still I miss you somehow

From the bottom of my broken heart
There's just a thing or two I'd like you to know
You were my first love
You were my true love
From the first kisses to the very last rose
From the bottom of my broken heart
Even though time may find me somebody new
You were my real love, I never knew love
'Til there was you
From the bottom of my broken heart

Baby, I said
Please stay, give our love a chance for one more day
We could have worked things out
Taking time is what love's all about

But you put a dart through my dreams
Through my heart
And I'm back where I started again
Never thought it would end

From the bottom of my broken heart
There's just a thing or two I'd like you to know
You were my first love,
You were my true love
From the first kisses to the very last rose
From the bottom of my broken heart
Even though time may find me somebody new
You were my real love, I never knew love
'Til there was you
From the bottom of my broken heart

You promised yourself
But to somebody else
And you made it so perfectly clear
Still I wish you were here now

From the bottom of my broken heart
There's just a thing or two I'd like you to know
You were my first love
You were my true love
From the first kisses to the very last rose

From the bottom of my broken heart
Even though time may find me somebody new
You were my real love, I never knew love
'Til there was you
From the bottom of my broken heart





Never look back, we said
How was I to know I'd miss you so?

Overall Meaning

In Britney Spears's song "From The Bottom of My Broken Heart," the lyrics describe the pain and longing someone goes through after a breakup. The song seems to be explaining the heartache that comes from not being able to be with the one you love and how difficult it can be to move on after a relationship ends. The opening lines "Never look back, we said, How was I to know I'd miss you so?" suggest that she and her significant other had chosen to end their relationship on a positive note and to not look back. However, as time passed, she realized she is unable to forget her past love and how much she misses him.


The lyrics continue, "Loneliness up ahead, emptiness behind, Where do I go?" This line talks about how she feels lost and without direction. She is trying to understand where to go next in life, feeling like she has no purpose or place to be without her loved one. The chorus then goes on to describe how much he meant to her: "You were my first love, You were my true love, From the first kisses to the very last rose." She is reminiscing about the memories they shared and how much love they had for each other.


The song ends on a sad note, as she acknowledges that time may pass, but her love for him will endure: "Even though time may find me somebody new, You were my real love, I never knew love 'til there was you, From the bottom of my broken heart." This song is a poignant reminder of how much it hurts when someone's heart is broken and how much we hold on to the memories of our first love.

Look how naturally beautiful Britney is. She didn't need all the extensions, etc. Praying for this sweet lady to know how loved she is and to know her worth. <3

@cutenessoverload184

For the future generations please please please don't let her songs get forgotten and keep her legacy going

We need the artists of the 90's back to teach today's artists real music.

@angelstdominic7333

My teenage years were full of Britney songs. I always love her beautiful songs so I get sad whenever I heard not so good news about her today. I wish she can find her true happiness because she deserved it so much. She was an inspiration in her generation and she made many of us happy through her songs.
