The Sound Of A Heartbreak
To Be Juliet's Secret Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I stole the stars and sky for you
I lost them in the oceans blue
Eyes of yours I swear
That's why my heart's still dreaming
The waves are calm but take me out
To watch the city lights burn out of time
The nights are mine
I'm waiting for the storm

Take me far so I can't look
Take me far so I can't look back
Take me far so I can't look back

Cause your name covered my heart from front to back
And now I lack to strength to leave it all behind
Now I'm dying on the inside
Cause your name covered my heart from front to back
And it was all an act
And now I see that I will be
Just a faded memory

But now you're gone
And I can still hear our song
To the sound of a heartbreak
And for my sake you shoulda let me walk back to take
All the sparks that our lips make
And now I'm here
With nothing to fear
But the fact I have nothing to fear
And I couldn't be scared if I wanted to
Cause you took everything I was scared to lose.

Take me far so I can't look
Take me far so I can't look
Take me far so I can't look back

Cause your name covered my heart from front to back
And now I lack to strength to leave it all behind
Now I'm dying on the inside
Cause your name covered my heart from front to back
And it was all an act
And now I see that I will be
Just a faded memory

So keep my heart
It's more at home in your hand
Then my chest
While I've learned how to breathe all over again without you
And if I fall apart
Please remember me at my best
Cause the best part of me was always you

So keep my heart
It's more at home in your hand
While I've learned how to breathe all over again without you
And if I fall apart
Please remember me at my best




Cause the best part of me was always you
It was you.

Overall Meaning

In "The Sound of a Heartbreak" by To Be Juliet's Secret, the singer reflects on a past relationship that has left them heartbroken. The opening lines convey the depth of their love and suffering, as they describe having taken the stars and sky for their former partner and lost them in the vast blue ocean. Despite the pain of the breakup, the singer is unable to let go completely, as they confess that the eyes of their ex-lover still haunts them and that their heart still dreams. The city lights are juxtaposed with the waves, as the singer seems to be lost in a sense of limbo, waiting for the storm to come so they can move on.


The chorus reveals the main theme of the song, as the singer pleads to be taken far away so they won't have to look back and face the heartbreak that is still gripping them. The image of their ex-lover's name covering their heart and preventing them from moving on is a powerful metaphor for the emotional hold that a past relationship can have on someone. The stark contrast between the intensity of their emotions and the realization that it was all an act from their ex creates a sense of betrayal and disillusionment. The bridge is a poignant reminder that even though the singer is trying to let go, their heart will always be connected to their former partner, and that the best part of them will forever be linked to them.

My favorite part about this song is the ending piano sequence. It sounds like it's rewinding but it's not. As if it's telling you no matter how bad you want to go back to the past and change it, you can't. What's been done had been done no matter how terrible the outcome, there will be no change. But take this terrible ending, and make it just your clarity of your new beginning. Your ending that was meant to be, the one that will make the suffering stop. It is the beginning to your happy ending.
