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
The song "Heart Attack" by Demi Lovato (acoustic cover by Anthem Lights) is about the fear of falling in love. The singer is afraid of putting her defenses down because she doesn't want to get hurt. She has never had trouble getting what she wants, but when it comes to love, she feels she is not good enough. She can play men like a Ken doll when she doesn't care, but this person makes her act like a girl, making her so nervous that she just can't hold his hand. She covers up her true feelings and puts her defenses up.
The lyrics capture the feeling of vulnerability that comes with falling in love. The singer is so scared of getting hurt that she's willing to put up walls to keep herself safe, but at the same time, she longs for connection and the feeling of being in love. The chorus repeats the fear of having a heart attack if the singer ever falls in love, showing how strong her fear is.
Overall, the song is about the struggle to let go of fear and allow oneself to be vulnerable in order to experience love.

The feelings got lost in my lungs
My emotions are overwhelming me so much that I can’t even express them
They’re burning, I’d rather be numb
I’m feeling so much emotional pain that I wish I could just shut my feelings off
And there’s no one else to blame
I’m responsible for my own emotional distress
So scared I take off and I run
I’m so afraid of getting hurt that I flee the situation
I’m flying too close to the sun
I’m taking huge emotional risks that could lead to my downfall
And I burst into flames
I’m overwhelmed by my emotions and may have a breakdown
If I ever did that, I think I’d have a heart attack (heart attack)
If I ever fell in love, it would be so intense that it could lead to a physical or emotional breakdown

When I don't care, I can play 'em like a Ken doll
Won't wash my hair, then make 'em bounce like a basketball

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 putting 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

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

Paint my nails and wear perfume for you
Make me so nervous that I just can't hold your hand
You make me glow

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 (rather be numb)
And there's no one else to blame (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 fla-fla-flames
You make me glow
But I cover up, won't let it show
So I'm putting 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-tack
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
