[Intro]
Brokenhearted
Ooh-yeah
Ooh, yeah-yeah yeah yeah
Oh-whoa
Oh, oh-oh
[Verse 1]
I'm young, but I'm wise enough to know
That you don't fall in love overnight, oh yeah
That's why I thought if I took my time
That everything in love would be right
[Pre-Chorus]
But as soon as I closed my eyes
I was saying to love, "Goodbye"
But I guess I'm
[Chorus]
Only brokenhearted
Life's not over
I can start again
While I'm lonely, brokenhearted
It's a hurting thing to get over
[Verse 2]
No more cryptic conversations
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, ooh-oh
[Pre-Chorus]
So I'll listen to all advice
And remember each time I cry
That I guess I'm
[Chorus]
Only brokenhearted (Only brokenhearted)
Life's not over (Life's not over)
I can start again (I can start again)
While I'm lonely, brokenhearted (While I'm lonely, brokenhearted)
It's a hurting thing to get over (Oh, it's a hurting thing to get over)
Only brokenhearted (Lonely, brokenhearted)
Life's not over (Life's not over, yeah)
I can start again (I can start again)
While I'm lonely, brokenhearted (Lonely)
It's a hurting thing to get over (It's a hurting, yeah)
[Break]
(Starting all over again, oh) Starting all over, yeah
Ooh ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Oh oh oh-oh-oh, oh oh-ooh whoa
Oh oh-oh-ooh, whoa-whoa
Ooh yeah
Only brokenhearted
La-da-da-ah, whoa-yeah
Oh-ah
[Bridge]
So I'll listen to all advice
And remember each time I cry, oh
Whoa, I'm
[Chorus]
Only brokenhearted (Only brokenhearted)
Life's not over (Life's not over)
I can start again (Oh...)
While I'm lonely, brokenhearted (Brokenhearted)
It's a hurting thing to get over (It's a hurting thing to get over)
Only brokenhearted (Brokenhearted)
Life's not over (Life's not over)
I can start again (No, oh)
While I'm lonely, brokenhearted (Brokenhearted)
It's a hurting thing to get over (Thing to get over)
[Outro]
Only brokenhearted
Life's not over
I can start again
While I'm lonely, brokenhearted
It's a hurting thing to get over, to get over
Only brokenhearted...
