I believe the overall message of this song is to keep your friends away from your relationships, as "Love is a thing you can never share". This is because love is a sacred and powerful emotion we can have, and when we abuse our amount of love by searching for those around us for more love, i.e, friends, we lose the privacy and secrecy of our special relationship. Elvis Presley reflects that bringing friends into your relationship, and becoming ambitious for more love, is harmful, and can lead to devastating outcomes, in this song "Heartaches", due to the end of relationships between friends and lovers. Ultimately, the message is that we need to embrace love for what it is.
