Broken Hearted
Kyla Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Only brokenhearted, life's not over
I can start again
While I'm lonely, brokenhearted
Its a hurting, thing to get over

I'm young but I'm wise enough to know
That you don't fall in love overnight
That's why I thought if I took my time
That everything in love would be right
Oh, oh

But as soon as I closed my eyes
I was saying to love "good-bye"

[Chorus]
But I guess I'm only brokenhearted
Life's not over I can start again
While I'm lonely brokenhearted
Its a hurting thing to get over

No more empty conversations
Next time I will be totally sure, oh
Don't want the pain of falling in and out of love
Its more than my poor heart should endure

So I'll listen to all advice
And remember each time I cry

Chorus

Da, da, da, da, da-ha whoa.

Chorus

Think about you all the time

Never thought Id be alone again
That's why I asked you to be my best friend
You know you're always on my mind
Think about you all the time

You know what I'm saying?





Oh baby
