Cover art for Empty Streets lyrics by Late Night Alumni

If the smile's not meant to be, If the heart's not ready to open If we make it I won't see how it's broken

Hmm putting a different spin on that....

I'd say...she's singing from her perspective first of all. She's going through some unfinished things from her past...loose ends...that carry into her new current situation. She likes this new person but is still not ready to commit...and she needs time. She wont understand how to fix herself if she gets blinded by this new relationship....and she'll hurt his new person the same way.

Hence...."if we make it...I wont see how its broken"

Just trying for a different intrepretation here

I do agree with lilb0idon

Yes, that's how I interpret this song....
