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 talks about the fear of falling in love and the power it can have over a person's emotions. The song describes how the persona has put up defenses around herself to protect her heart from the pain and vulnerability that love can bring. She never puts her love out on the line or says yes to the right guy because she's afraid it will lead to a heart attack, which is actually a metaphor for the intensity of the emotions she fears will overwhelm her.
The lyrics in the chorus describe the dichotomy of feelings she has towards the person she wants to fall for. On one hand, this person makes her want to act like a girl and wear high heels and perfume, but on the other hand, she is afraid to let her guard down and reveal her true feelings. The persona feels like she would burst into flames if she ever let herself fall in love with this person, and so she puts up her defenses to protect herself from the intense emotions.
Overall, "Heart Attack" is a song that speaks to the struggle of vulnerability in relationships and the fear that comes with putting oneself out there. The song touches on the idea that with love comes risk, and that sometimes it's easier to protect ourselves by not letting ourselves fall too hard.

I am responsible for my own emotions and how I handle them
So scared I take off and I run
I am so afraid of getting hurt that I would rather run away than face my feelings
I'm flying too close to the sun
I am taking a huge risk by opening myself up emotionally
And I burst into flames
My emotions are consuming me and causing me to self-destruct
