Heart Attack
Lovato Demi 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
The lyrics to Demi Lovato's song "Heart Attack" are about the fear of falling in love. Demi sings about how she has never put her love on the line, never said yes to the right guy, and how she had never had any trouble getting what she wants until she meets this one guy who makes her nervous and unsure of herself. She explains that when she doesn't care, she can easily play with the hearts of men like they are her toys, but with him, she feels like she is never good enough. The song's chorus suggests that if she falls in love, she would have a heart attack. She feels like she's flying too close to the sun and could burst into flames.
The lyrics also indicate that she wants to put up defenses to protect herself from being hurt. She covers up her feelings and doesn't let them show because she doesn't want to be vulnerable. She feels like pain is more trouble than love is worth, and it's not fair. She gets nervous that she can't even hold his hand or do things that girls typically do, like paint her nails and wear high heels. The song's message is about the fear and uncertainty that comes with falling in love, and how it can leave us feeling vulnerable and exposed.

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)
