The song’s lyrics vividly depict the internal conflict of wanting to love again while being terrified of getting hurt.

Lines like “Puttin’ my defenses up ’cause I don’t wanna fall in love / If I ever did that, I think I’d have a heart attack” highlight the protagonist’s reluctance to engage emotionally due to past pain.

The metaphor of a “heart attack” symbolizes the intense, almost physical fear of emotional vulnerability.

The chorus, “Never put my love out on the line / Never said yes to the right guy / Never had trouble getting what I want / But when it comes to you, I’m never good enough,” underscores the protagonist’s struggle with self-worth and trust issues in the context of romantic relationships.

Demi Lovato’s powerful vocals and the upbeat, energetic production contrast with the song’s somber themes, creating a poignant reflection on the complexities of love and fear.
