Mystify Lyrics

Do the broken hearts left behind belong to the protagonist and his lover, or to their current partners being left? I've always heard it as the latter but I was wondering...

I like this song a lot but sometimes think it's performed a bit too bombastically; I could hear it sung the same way but with less instrumental backup and be even more sexy/mysterious. Love the lyrics.
