Give It a Try
Daring the Heartbreak Dance: 'Give It a Try' Unveiled
Lyrics
You got me on the line, there's nothing I can do
The speaker feels trapped or committed to a situation.
You [Incomprehensible] up the switch and I'm falling for that too
The person being addressed has triggered the speaker's emotions, causing them to fall for them despite reservations.
You got me playing your game, I'm breaking my own rules
The speaker is engaging in someone else's game, disregarding their own principles or boundaries.
You got me on the line, there's nothing I can do
Reiteration of feeling trapped or helpless in the situation.
So you can break my heart like I know you're gonna
Acceptance that the person can hurt the speaker emotionally.
You can tear me up like I know you can
Acknowledgment that the person has the power to cause emotional pain.
You can eat me alive like I know you wanna
The person has the capability to deeply affect the speaker.
But it's better than never even having a chance
Despite potential pain, having a chance at a relationship is preferable to not trying at all.
I can tell by the look in your eyes
The speaker can discern the other person's intentions from their eyes.
That you've already planned your goodbye
The person seems to have already planned to leave or end things.
It doesn't make much sense and I know it won't fly
The situation seems irrational, and the speaker acknowledges it won't work out logically.
But we might as well give it try
Despite doubts, the speaker suggests giving the relationship a chance.
I should get out while I can but that's never been my style
The speaker's typical behavior involves not leaving despite a need to.
I'm just a runner up when we could be running wild
Choosing to settle for less rather than pursuing something more fulfilling.
I could walk away now, seek the remedy and miles
The option to leave exists, but the speaker is hesitant to take it.
I should get out while I can but that's never been my style
Reiteration of the speaker's reluctance to depart from the situation.
So you can break my heart like I know you're gonna

But it's better than never even having a chance
