| Demi Lovato – Give Your Heart a Break Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I don’t usually listen to popular music, but just strolling through the radio I stumbled upon this song, and stopped dead. I couldn’t move, could barely breathe- I could just listen, and cry. No matter what Demi Lovato meant in the song, to me, it reminds me almost exactly of someone I know. Someone who I have very strong, yet confusing feelings about. When I first met him, he was suffering from a break up, and her pretty much made it clear he didn’t want to love again, so he wouldn’t be hurt the way he was: “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.” But ever since that first meeting, I couldn’t stop thinking about him. Through the months, I watched him go through more relationships, keeping my feelings neatly under lock and key, and supporting him as a good friend. It seemed though, that his heart was thrown around, tossed, and broken. I still supported him as a friend through it all, even when he was single. Because he was hurting, and he was not ready for another relationship, especially, it felt like, with me. We were good friends… and that’s how it had always been, and seemed like it always would be: “Now here we are, so close yet so far.” But I always felt like I wasn’t good enough for him, because he’d always be with someone else: “Haven’t I passed the test?” Yet, through it all, I still had feelings for him, and part of me wanted to prove that I wouldn’t hurt him like others had: “Baby, I’m not like the rest.” I wanted him to be with me, but it didn’t seem possible. With all his broken hearts, and all his trust in love being ripped away: “…There’s just so much you can take.” I wanted to be with him, and I didn’t want to break his heart, I wanted to give it a break: chorus. “…you went home alone, there were tears in your eyes. I called your cell phone, my love, but you did not reply.” For these lyrics, I remember the times I didn’t see him for weeks. I tried to email him, send him messages, and more, but got no answers. I began to believe that something happened, like he had broken up with someone again and was depressed, and became worried sick. The day I made a prayer request about it, I saw him. It was a miracle to see him- yet I had guessed correctly. “..But you slip out my fingertips every time you run.” Ever since his many break ups, and when he got together with someone nice and sweet- that I have also become good friends with- we’ve begun drifting apart… far apart. And I guess it was partly my fault too, because I let him go. Maybe, in the end, I really did give his heart a break. <3 Zack |
