[Chorus: Brandy & Wanya]
Only brokenhearted
Life's not over
I can start again
While I'm lonely, brokenhearted
It's a hurtin' thing to get over
[Verse 1: Brandy]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Wanya]
But as soon as I closed my eyes
I was sayin' to love, "Goodbye"
[Chorus: Brandy & Wanya]
(But I guess I'm) only brokenhearted
Life's not over
I can start again
While I'm lonely, brokenhearted
It's a hurtin' thing to get over
[Verse 2: Wanya, with Brandy]
No more empty conversation
Next time I will be totally sure, oh
Don't want the pain of fallin' in and out of love
It's more than my poor heart should know
[Pre-Chorus: Brandy]
So I'll listen to all advice
And remember each time I cry
[Chorus: Brandy & Wanya]
(That I guess I'm) only brokenhearted
Life's not over
I can start again
While I'm lonely, brokenhearted
It's a hurtin' thing to get over
Only brokenhearted
Life's not over
I can start again
While I'm lonely, brokenhearted
It's a hurtin' thing to get over
[vocalizing]
[Pre-Chorus: Brandy & Wanya]
So, I'll listen to all advice
And remember each time I cry, I'm
[Chorus: Brandy & Wanya]
Only brokenhearted
Life's not over
I can start again
While I'm lonely, brokenhearted
It's a hurtin' thing to get over
[Interlude: Brandy & Wanya]
Never thought I'd be alone again
That's why I asked you to be my best friend
Oh, you know you're always on my mind
I think about you all the time
I'm only brokenhearted
It's a hurtin' thing to get over
[Outro: Brandy & Wanya]
Only brokenhearted
Life's not over
I can start again...
Only brokenhearted
Life's not over
I can start again
While I'm lonely, brokenhearted
It's a hurtin' thing to get over
[Verse 1: Brandy]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Wanya]
But as soon as I closed my eyes
I was sayin' to love, "Goodbye"
[Chorus: Brandy & Wanya]
(But I guess I'm) only brokenhearted
Life's not over
I can start again
While I'm lonely, brokenhearted
It's a hurtin' thing to get over
[Verse 2: Wanya, with Brandy]
No more empty conversation
Next time I will be totally sure, oh
Don't want the pain of fallin' in and out of love

While I'm lonely, brokenhearted
It's a hurtin' thing to get over
Only brokenhearted
Life's not over

While I'm lonely, brokenhearted
It's a hurtin' thing to get over
