Heart Attack
❤Demi Lovato Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack
Never put my love out on the line
Never said "yes" to the right guy
Never had trouble getting what I want
But when it comes to you, I'm never good enough
Won't wash my hair, then make 'em bounce like a basketball
But you make me wanna act like a girl
Paint my nails and wear high heels, yes you
Make me so nervous, that I just can't hold your hand
You make me glow
But I cover up, won't let it show
So I'm puttin' my defenses up
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
Never break a sweat for the other guys
When you come around, I get paralyzed
And every time I try to be myself
It comes out wrong like a cry for help
It's just not fair
Pain's more trouble than love is worth
I gasp for air
It feels so good, but you know it hurts
But you make me wanna act like a girl
Paint my nails and wear perfume, for you
Make me so nervous, that I just can't hold your hand
You make me glow
But I cover up, won't let it show
So I'm puttin' my defenses up
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
The feelings got lost in my lungs
They're burning, I'd rather be numb
And there's no one else to blame
So scared, I take off and I run
I'm flying too close to the sun
And I burst into flames
You make me glow
But I cover up, won't let it show
So I'm puttin' my defenses up
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack (heart attack)
I think I'd have a heart attack
Oh, I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack

I think I'd have a heart attack
The fear of being hurt is so intense that it feels like a physical attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
My fear of love is so strong that it feels like it could kill me

The title of this song is just so perfect, it fits just right! I almost had a heart attack trying to hit the high note.

@mark_of_the_wolf
This song perfectly encapsulates the feeling of being in love but being afraid to love. It hits very close to home for me and makes me feel in a way i haven't for a long time.
@1dfandomisalive
I'm not a Demi Lovato fan, but I'm learning this song to hit the high note. But i should say this song is literal masterpiece ❤
