Heart Attack - Demi Lovato

The Experience: You discover a whole new world. Your heart feels things it`s never felt  before. You start doing and saying things you never would have done or said. Meeting the right guy makes you realize that you are a girl and you cherish all that it means. Lipstick and nail polish take on a new meaning when you use them for someone else. You get to know yourself when you find out you want to love. You glow because you  are a girl in love... Demi Lovato's Heart Attack is about what happens when you discover someone who makes you feel special. Falling in love changes the way you look at life. And that can be scary.

The Video: We're still waiting for the music video. In the meantime, the new lyric video is a catchy, explosive mix of lyrics and the hashtags that Demi Lovato's fans use to follow her music around Twitter.

My Take: Falling in love means means letting go, losing control of your destiny in the blur and excitement of that roller-coaster of emotions. You can't get enough, and at the same time you're not sure you want to give any more. But in the end, falling in love you realize this is what you were looking for all along.

Ask Yourself: What makes me feel special and loved? What do I value about the guys that like me?

LYRICS:

Puttin’ my defences up
‘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
When I don’t care
I can play ‘em like a Ken doll
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
Yeah 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 defences up
Cause I don’t wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I’d have a heart attack (x3)

Never break a sweat for the other guys
When you come around, I get paralyzed
And everytime I try to be myself
It comes out wrong like a cry for help
It’s just not fair
Pain’s more trouble than it all 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 defences up
Cause I don’t wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I’d have a heart attack (x3)

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 defences up
‘Cause I don’t wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I'd have a heart attack (x2)
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack (x2)
