Give Your Heart a Break Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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 wait, to waste
So let me give your heart a break

[Post-Chorus]
Give your heart a break, let me give your heart a break
Your heart a break, oh yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
On Sunday, you went home
Alone, there were tears in your eyes
I called your cell phone
My love, but you did not reply

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

[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 wait, to waste
So let me give your heart a break

[Post-Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
When your lips are on my lips
Then our hearts beat as one
But you slip out of my fingertips
Every time you run
Woah, woah

[Chorus]
Don't wanna break your heart, wanna give your heart a break (Don't wanna break your heart)
I know you're scared it's wrong, like you might make a mistake (I know you're scared it's wrong)
There's just one life to live and there's no time to wait, to waste
So let me give your heart a break (Let me give your heart)
'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

[Post-Chorus]
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)
Your heart a break (A break), oh yeah, yeah

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

“Give Your Heart a Break” is the last single from Demi Lovato’s third album Unbroken.

The song was written & produced by Josh Alexander and Billy Steinberg.

According to MTV, Demi explained that despite the play on the word “heartbreak” in the title, the song is the exact opposite, saying:

Last year, I began working on a song about a different love. It’s a song about showing someone you love that you’re the one right in front of them. This is a song about faith.“

The song peaked at #16 on the Billboard Hot 100, topped Billboard’s Mainstream Top 40 chart, #16 on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary chart, #12 on Billboard’s Adult Top 40 chart and #38 on Billboard’s Latin Pop Songs chart.
