Don't Give My Heart a Break
Resisting Heartache: Carlene Carter's Plea for Love's Sanctuary
Lyrics
Don't give my heart a break
Requesting not to cause emotional distress to the heart
Don't give it an ache for heavens sake
Pleading to avoid causing pain or discomfort
I'm on my knees now pretty please
Desperation for mercy or favor
Don't give my heart a break
Reiteration of not wanting the heart to suffer
Don't give my heart a break
Reinforcing the plea to avoid heartache
Don't put the pressure on me precious
Asking not to burden or stress with expectations
Take about as much as it can take
Requesting not to exceed the heart's capacity
Don't give my heart a break oh - oh
Re-emphasizing the plea to prevent heartbreak
Well I thought this heart has beaten love for sure
Expressing belief in the heart's ability to love
It's never missed this many beats before
Noticing an unprecedented level of emotional disturbance
This heart can't get arrested any more
Feeling emotionally drained or exhausted
Cause I feel it starting to crack
Sensing vulnerability and potential emotional breakdown
It's under attack
Feeling emotionally threatened or in danger
Don't give my heart a break
Repeated request to avoid heartache
Don't give it a shake - for heaven's sake
Urging to prevent further emotional turmoil
I'm on my knees now pretty please
Begging for mercy or kindness
Don't give my heart a break
Reiteration of not wanting the heart to suffer
Don't give my heart a break
Insistence on protecting the heart from pain
How I wish that it would let up, I'd be set up
Desire for relief from emotional stress
If I had a pound for every pound
Imagining a wishful scenario if there was respite
I'd buy my heart a break
Using a metaphorical currency to seek relief for the heart
Can I buy my heart a break wo, wo
Expressing a wish to alleviate the heart's suffering
Don't give my heart a break
Repeated plea to prevent emotional distress
Isn't it a shame, isn't it a crime
Expressing sorrow or dismay at the situation
Can I buy my heart a little more time
Asking for more time to safeguard the heart
Some time cause
Stressing the need for time to protect the heart
I thought this heart had beaten love for sure
Reiterating belief in the heart's capacity to love
But it never missed this many beats before
Observing a new level of emotional distress
This heart can't get arrested any more
Feeling emotionally drained or exhausted
'Cause I feel it starting to crack
Sensing vulnerability and potential emotional breakdown
It's under attack
Feeling emotionally threatened or in danger
