Just a little heartache
Maria Arredondo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Coz I can't get you out of my mind.
And my heartbeat is raising when I see you at school,
and I guess I'm in trouble this time..
You don't know how I'm feeling, you don't know who I am.
And I don't know if you understand.
because I've been in love with you right from the start.
But it's not a big deal it's just something I feel.
It's just a little heartache, just a little heartache of mine..
All I want is to hold you, all i need is to know,
all I yern for one plaid of sign.
But I don't dare to tell you and I'm to shy to call,
so I guess I'm in trouble this time.
You don't know how I'm feeling, you don't know who i am.
And I don't know if you understand.
When I see you walk by there's a sting in my heart,
because Iv'e been in love with you right from the start.
But it's not a big deal, it's just something I feel.
It's just a little heartache, juat a little heartache..
But whenever I'm lonely and whenever I'm down,
and whenever I'm on my own.
I pretend you can hear me, I pretend that you're mine,
When I open my eyes you're gone!
When I see you walk by there's a sting in my heart,
because Iv'e been in love with you right from the start.
But it's not a big deal, it's just something I feel.
It's just a little heartache, just a little heartache..
When I see you walk by there's a sting in my heart,
because Iv'e been in love with you right from the start.
But it's not a big deal it's just something I feel.
It's just a little heartache, just a little heartache of mine..
In Maria Arredondo's song "Just a Little Heartache," she portrays a young girl who has fallen in love with someone who does not know she exists. The lyrics are about the pain and heartache that come with an unrequited love. The first two lines of the song suggest that the girl is becoming overwhelmed and consumed by her emotions; she does not know how to handle her feelings, as they have taken over her entire being. She admits that she cannot get the person off her mind; this shows just how much he means to her. Arrendondo then goes on to describe how her poor heart races every time she is around him, revealing how the girl has fallen heads over heels in love.
In the chorus, the artist sings of the pain she feels every time the person walks by. It is evident that this is not the first time the girl has seen him, as she says she has been in love with him "right from the start." The line "but it's not a big deal, it's just something I feel" is almost as though the girl is trying to convince herself that the love she has for him is insignificant; that it is a simple heartache. However, it is apparent that this is not the case as it is consuming her every thought. The third verse of the song indicates that the girl is desperate to know if there is any hope of her love being reciprocated. She feels as though she cannot tell him outright since she is too shy or scared of being rejected, leaving her heartbroken.
Overall, the song is about the concept of unrequited love, which a lot of people can relate to. It can be challenging to come to terms with, especially when you believe that you have found 'the one.' The lyrics, written by Arrendondo, express the pain and heartache that come with unrequited love.
