Been sulking around Cause he let you down
Describing a state of sadness due to a failed relationship.
And moved out to L.A.
Details about the partner moving to Los Angeles.
If you only knew,what he's thinking of you
Suggesting ignorance of the person's partner's thoughts.
You wouldn't waste the time
Advising against wasting time on negative emotions.
If you opened up your mind
Encouraging open-mindedness for a solution.
Then I could MEND YOUR HEART
Offering to mend the person's heart.

If you give me a chance I'll take it
Requesting a chance to prove one's worth.
I will show you everything that you are
Promise to reveal the person's true value and potential.
The brightest light from a distant star

You shine far

And I could MEND YOUR HEART
Reiteration of the ability to mend the heart.
When it's been torn and tattered
Repeating the description of a torn and tattered heart.
When all your dreams are scattered I could mend
