I am admittedly a HUGE Broadway musical fan, including fictional Broadway musicals performed within canceled NBC television shows ….
That being said, a song from Smash came on my Pandora recently, a song I hadn’t heard since prior to D-Day. The lyrics now speak to me in a way I could have never anticipated.
While I wanted (or needed) to write today, the words just cannot seem to find their way to the page, so I will let Katherine McPhee and Jeremy Jordan (side note: not the Jeremy Jordan who sang “The Right Kind of Love” on the 90210 soundtrack) do the talking for me…….
“Heart Shaped Wreckage”
I’ve been to hell and back, and I went with you
Remind me what we were before
When we said you are mine and I am yours
I don’t know much, but I know myself
And I don’t want to love anybody else
So let’s break the spell and lift the curse
Remember when we fell for each other head first
Look at this heart shaped wreckage
What have we done?
We’ve got scars from battles nobody won
We can start over, better
Both of us know if we just let the broken pieces
Let the broken pieces go
I can’t find you in the dark
Will we get back to who we are?
And I can’t fix this on my own
Our love is still the best thing I’ve ever known
Look at this heart shaped wreckage
What have we done?
We’ve got scars from battles nobody won
We can start over, better
Both of us know if we just let the broken pieces
Let the broken pieces go
Let the broken pieces go
Just hold on to each other tonight, oh
Look at this heart shaped wreckage
What have we done?
We’ve got scars from battles nobody won
We can start over, better
Both of us know if we just let the broken pieces
Let the broken pieces
Let the broken pieces
Let the broken pieces…
