Give Your Heart A Break - Demi Lovato

The day I first met you
You told me you'd never fall in love
But now that I get you
I know fear is what it really was

Now here we are
So close yet so far
Haven't I passed the test
When will you realize
Baby, I'm not like the rest

CHORUS
Don't wanna break your heart
Wanna give your heart a break
I know you're scared it's wrong
Like you might make a mistake
There's just one life to live
And there's no time to waste to waste
So let me give your heart a break, give your heart a break
Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break
Oh yeah, yeah

On Sunday you went home alone
There were tears in your eyes
I called your cell phone, my love
But you did not reply

The world is ours if you want it
We can take it if you just take my hand
There's no turning back now
Baby, try to understand

CHORUS

There's just so much you can take
Give your heart a break
Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break
Oh yeah, yeah

When your lips are on my lips
And our hearts beat as one
But you slip out of my fingertips
Every time you run, whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh

Don't wanna break your heart
Wanna give your heart a break
I know you're scared it's wrong

Like you might make a mistake
There's just one life to live
And there's no time to waste, to waste
So let me give your heart a break

'Cause you've been hurt before
I can see it in your eyes
You try to smile it away, some things you can't disguise
Don't wanna break your heart
Baby, I can ease the ache, the ache
So let me give your heart a break, give your heart a break
Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break

There's just so much you can take
Give your heart a break
Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break
Oh yeah, yeah

The day I first met you
You told me you'd never fall in love

Meaning, Main Idea, and Message of The Song

Can you mention one thing in this world which could give happiness as well as cause pain to human beings? I can. That thing is called love. As it resides in every heart, every human being can feel the happiness as well as misery it may bring.

There is nothing in this world the influence of which is as big as love. When human beings fall in love, they could and would do anything beyond their limit. Movies have shown us obvious examples. History of mankind civilization has also confirmed this fact. We could learn, for example, when Caesar fell in love with Cleopatra he was so overjoyed that he was willing to grant her every wish and request. The same also happened to Syah Jahan. He was so in love with Mumtaz Mahal that he built Taj Mahal for her.

But that's just a half of the story. Beside giving happiness, love may also cause deep pain to the heart. Nothing could cause as severe hurt to the heart as love. So painful is the hurt caused by love that people who have ever felt it can be in trauma. Love which previously fills the heart can be replaced by hate. And the hatred may lead to the psychological condition in which someone stops believing that there is love in this world that can bring happiness.

This Demi Lovato's Give Your Heart A Break song seems to me to describe the second circumstance above. In the song, Demi Lovato plays the role as a girl who is trying to convince a brokenhearted boy that she is different from a girl having broken him to pieces. The chorus part clearly shows Demi Lovato's attempt to convince the boy. "Don't wanna break your heart, wanna give your heart a break," so the line goes. Instead of hurting him, she means, she wanna give peace to his mind. The "let me give your heart a break" part is repeated over and over again. I guess it shows how strong her will is to drive out his fear of falling in love again.

Well, that's my interpretation of Demi Lovato's Give Your Heart A Break song. Your comments are highly appreciated.
