Give Your Heart a Break
Glee Cast Lyrics

The day I first met you
From our first meeting until now, I have recognized a fear within you.

You told me you'd never fall in love
I remember you stating that love was not possible for you.

But now that I get you
However, now that I understand you better,

I know fear is what it really was
I believe that what you called never falling in love was actually a deep-rooted fear.

Now here we are
Currently, we find ourselves in a situation where we’re physically close, but struggle to fully connect.

So close yet so far
We are so near to one another, yet still so far apart emotionally.

Haven't I passed the test
I wonder if I have yet to prove myself worthy of your trust and affection.

When will you realize
I hope the time comes when you can recognize

Baby, I'm not like the rest
that I am different from those who may have hurt you in the past.

Don't wanna break your heart
I do not want to cause you any pain

Wanna give your heart a break
I want to provide you with a chance to heal and safeguard your heart.

I know you're scared it's wrong
I recognize that you have apprehensions and worry that this situation could end badly.

Like you might make a mistake
You fear that you will make an irreversible misstep in your emotional life

There's just one life to live
But we only have one life to live and we must make it count.

And there's no time to waste to waste
We should not linger too long on the sidelines, afraid of what might happen.

So let me give your heart a break, give your heart a break
Let me be the one to demonstrate that love should not be feared or avoided, but embraced positively.

There's just so much you can take
I understand that everyone has a breaking point.

On Sunday you went home alone
On Sunday, you were by yourself.

There were tears in your eyes
Your eyes were wet, signifying your emotional state.

I called your cell phone, my love
I attempted to reach you via your cell phone, my love.

But you did not reply
However, you chose to ignore my attempts to communicate with you.

The world is ours if you want it
There is an endless amount of possibilities on the horizon if you share the same feelings

We can take it if you just take my hand
We can experience it all if you decide to embrace my love and what lies ahead.

There's no turning back now
There is no time for looking back, we must move forward.

Baby, try to understand
I am pleading to you, to seek out an understanding of what might be in your future.

'Cause you've been hurt before
You have been through a lot in the past, and I understand that this is why love scares you so much

I can see it in your eyes
I can tell that you are hesitant and anxious about giving away your heart.

You try to smile it away, some things you can't disguise
You attempt to hide your concerns or apprehensions behind a smile, but some emotions will always show.

Baby, I can ease the ache, the ache
I promise you, that I can ease your emotional pain with my love and kindness

Give your heart a break
You deserve a respite from any pain or discomfort that you feel

Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break
Please let me provide a chance for your heart to find solace and happiness

Oh yeah, yeah
Reiterating the message once again with a positive affirmation
