From the recording The Sweet 45s
An upbeat pop gem packed with shimmering harmonies and irresistible sing-along sparkle. Beneath the bright sha-la-las, it tells a bittersweet story of love fading and a broken heart learning to let go.
I kept thinking love would come to know my name
That every whispered promise would grow like a flame
Til the fire burned out and the truth became clear
That the hardest goodbyes are the ones we don’t hear
Theres a doorway in the darkness where the memories seem to go
Where the whispers of the past forever burn low
Where unspoken words echo through the night
When the ghosts of what we were refuse to say goodbye
Will the last broken heart please turn out the lights
Will the last broken heart even make it through the night
I’ve been learning how to fall just to lose the fight
Let me slip into the shadows and fade into the night
Will the last broken heart please turn out the lights
I’ve been tracing every shadow that your leaving left behind
Trying hard to find a reason in the ruins of my mind
But the truth is just an echo of a love that couldn’t stay
And I’m standing in the silence trying to wipe those memories away
I keep sifting through the pieces of who I used to be
Before the weight of loving you took the best part of me
Been holding on to promises that were never meant to last
Still trying to walk away from the footsteps of the past
Will the last broken heart please turn out the lights
Will the last broken heart even make it through the night
I watched every promise that we made fade into the night
So if love ain’t gonna save me if I’m never gonna shine
Will the last broken heart please turn out the lights
I remember how you would hold me and the world would disappear
How can healing ever start if I keep wishing you were here
If love is still a whisper breathing gently in my ear
Let the last broken heart my last broken heart turn out the lights
Will the last broken heart please turn out the lights?
Will the last broken heart even make it through the night?
Maybe hearts don’t break they just forget how to shine
So until I find mine will the last broken heart please turn out the lights?
please turn out the lights…
My last broken heart
The last broken heart
The last broken heart
My last broken heart…
