One More Heartache
Surviving Heartbreak: Overwhelmed by Struggles
Lyrics
One more heartache, I can't take it
Expressing the difficulty of enduring another heartache.
My heart is carryin' such a heavy load
Describing the emotional burden on the heart.
One more ache would break it
Suggesting that an additional ache would be unbearable.
Just like the camel with the heavy back
Drawing a metaphor to a camel's heavy load on its back.
One last straw was added, they say it broke the camel's back
Referring to the proverbial last straw that breaks the camel's back, indicating a breaking point.
Ah (ah) ah (ah)
Interjection expressing emotional distress.
I can't take it, I can't stand it
Reiterating the inability to endure the heartache.
One more heartache, it would turn me right around
Emphasizing the transformative impact of another heartache.
First you build my hopes up high and then you let me down
Describing a pattern of raising hopes and subsequent disappointment.
Like the house you built from toothpicks stacked upon the kitchen table
Using metaphorical language to depict a fragile situation, like a house of toothpicks.
One last toothpick tore it down; the foundation was not able
Describing the fragility of the foundation and its inability to support the structure.
Ah (ah) ah (ah)
Repeating the interjection for heightened emotional emphasis.
I can't take it, I can't stand it
Reaffirming the emotional strain and inability to tolerate it.
No no no baby
Rejecting the idea of enduring more heartache.
Oh baby, one more heartache would be too much load
Stating that another heartache would be too much to bear.
I'm fed up with the heartaches; one more and I will explode
Expressing frustration with the accumulation of heartaches, nearing a breaking point.
Like the toy balloon that's filled with as much air as it can take
Drawing a parallel to a toy balloon filled to its limit.
One more puff of air and that balloon has got to burst
Describing the imminent bursting of the balloon with additional air, symbolizing a limit being reached.
Ah (ah) ah (ah)
Repeating the interjection for continued emotional emphasis.
I can't take it, I can't stand it
Reiterating the emotional strain and inability to endure further.
No, honey, not another
Firmly stating the rejection of another heartache.
