Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't someone see it?
Small like wonder
Have I been dreaming?
These eyes are open
These ears can hear you
Though I've been screaming
You never hear me
And you go brick by brick
Walling me in
It's cold and it's dark
The air's getting thin
And I need my space
I wish you'd just relax
Blood pressure building
I feel it comin' on
Heart attack; don't look back
Do you need someone to argue at?
You'll be fine
Love ain't always great
But hey, there's still time
Our lines have all been said
Our words have all been drawn
Like cracks across the base
Of all you've built us on
And you go brick by brick
Walling me in
It's cold and it's dark
The air's getting thin
And I need my space
I wish you'd just relax
Blood pressure building
I feel it comin' on
Heart attack; don't look back
Do you need someone to argue at?
You'll be fine
Love ain't always great
But hey, there's still time
Yes, I've heard it all before, dear
And I've seen it all come down
Be prepared to take a fall, dear
Heart attack; don't look back
Do you need someone to argue at?
You'll be fine
Love ain't always great
But hey, there's still time
(There's still time)
Still time
(There's still time)
Still time
(There's still time)
Still time

She covers up her true feelings and puts her defenses up.

Line by Line Meaning
Puttin’ my defenses up
I'm being cautious to protect myself from getting hurt
'Cause I don’t wanna fall in love
I’m afraid of falling in love
If I ever did that, I think I’d have a heart attack
If I ever fell in love, it would overwhelm me and potentially lead to a breakdown
Never put my love out on the line
I’ve never taken the risk of showing someone I love them
Never said yes to the right guy
I’ve never found the right person to love
Never had trouble getting what I want
I’ve always been able to get what I desire
But when it comes to you, I’m never good enough
I feel inadequate around you
When I don’t care, I can play 'em like a Ken doll
I can manipulate guys I’m not interested in
Won’t wash my hair, then make 'em bounce like a basketball
I can have fun without worrying about impressing people I don’t care about
But you make me wanna act like a girl
Being around you makes me want to embrace my femininity
Paint my nails and wear high heels, yes you
I want to look my best for you
Make me so nervous, that I just can’t hold your hand
I’m so overwhelmed by my feelings for you that I can’t physically hold your hand
You make me glow,
Being around you fills me with happiness and joy
But I cover up, won’t let it show,
I’m trying to hide my feelings from you
So I’m puttin’ my defenses up
I’m guarding myself from getting hurt
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

'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 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
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
