Achy Breaky Heart
Heartbreak Harmony: Decoding the Emotions Behind Achy Breaky Heart
Lyrics
You can tell the world you never was my girl
The person can deny or disown the relationship publicly.
You can burn my clothes up when I'm gone
Permission to destroy personal belongings after departure.
You can tell your friends just what a fool I've been
Allowing gossip about personal foolishness.
And laugh and joke about me on the phone
Permitting others to mock and ridicule on the phone.
You can tell my arms go back to the farm
Acceptance of separation, advising arms to return to work.
You can tell my feet to hit the floor
Accepting the need to move on, urging feet to start moving.
Or you can tell my lips to tell my fingertips
Trying to prevent physical contact between lips and fingertips.
They won't be reaching out for you no more
Declaring the end of emotional connection.
But don't tell my heart
Requesting not to inform the heart about the breakup.
My achy breaky heart
Referring to the pain of a broken heart.
I just don't think he'd understand
Doubt about the heart's ability to comprehend.
And if you tell my heart
Reiteration of not informing the heart.
My achy breaky heart
Concern about heart's extreme reaction to the news.
He might blow up and kill this man
Fear of heart's explosive and violent response.
You can tell your mom I moved to Arkansas
Indicating a move to another state.
You can tell your dog to bite my leg
A figurative expression suggesting hostility from the person's pet.
Or tell your brother Cliff whose fist can tell my lip
Mentioning a dislike from someone close in the family.
He never really liked me anyway
Confirmation of the dislike from the mentioned individual.
Or tell your Aunt Louise, tell anything you please
Openness to allowing rumors or stories about the situation.
Myself already knows I'm not OK.
Recognition of personal emotional state.
Or you can tell my eyes to watch out for my mind
Requesting eyes to be vigilant about potential emotional departure.
It might be walking out on me today
Concern about the potential departure of mental stability.
But don't tell my heart
Repeated plea not to inform the heart.
My achy breaky heart
Reiteration of the pain from a broken heart.
I just don't think he'd understand
Doubting the heart's capacity to comprehend.
And if you tell my heart
Reiterating not to inform the heart.
My achy breaky heart
Fear of heart's extreme reaction to the news.
He might blow up and kill this man
Worry about the heart's explosive and violent response.
Don't tell my heart
Repeated plea not to inform the heart.
My achy breaky heart
Reiteration of the pain from a broken heart.
I just don't think he'd understand
Doubting the heart's capacity to comprehend.
And if you tell my heart
Reiterating not to inform the heart.
My achy breaky heart
Fear of heart's extreme reaction to the news.
He might blow up and kill this man
Worry about the heart's explosive and violent response.
Don't tell my heart
Repeated plea not to inform the heart.
My achy breaky heart
Reiteration of the pain from a broken heart.
I just don't think he'd understand
Doubting the heart's capacity to comprehend.
And if you tell my heart
Reiterating not to inform the heart.
My achy breaky heart
Fear of heart's extreme reaction to the news.
He might blow up and kill this man
Worry about the heart's explosive and violent response.
