Narrowed my eyes, tried to cut through lies I took a step back to get a better perspective The lyrics and melody blend together to create a sense of both urgency and unease, emphasizing the way the relationship has taken over the speaker's life. The speaker is pulled in by the intensity of their partner's affection but also recognizes that it's not healthy or sustainable. Overall, "Heart Attack" captures the feeling of being in a relationship that is both exciting and dangerous. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the speaker's sense of being swept up and controlled by their partner, while also acknowledging their own longing for the relationship to work out. The line "Spread roots wide in the back of my eyes and she never let it slow" suggests that while she put down roots in the speaker's life and memories, she didn't let the relationship progress at a natural pace. The second verse indicates that the speaker's partner was more of a performer than someone truly invested in the relationship.

The opening lyrics suggest the speaker had a difficult time seeing the truth of the relationship, as they "tried to cut through lies" but were "losing touch." The chorus highlights the on-again, off-again nature of the relationship and the speaker's frustration with the emotional rollercoaster: "Would it kill you for some peace of mind, would you take me and not look back, good gracious, you're a heart attack." The verses provide more detail about the relationship and the power dynamic between the two partners.

I stepped back just to frame it And I didn′t know too much Narrowed my eyes, tried to cut through lies I was losing touch Darlin' I didn′t know nothing Hit like a head full of wine Came like a curse, I was down in the first You didn't use your right Oh my, you just gotta take a piece of me Try to tease out the other side 'Cause darlin′ I just see you′ve been so sweet to me I've been waiting on the day all night Would it kill you for some peace of mind Would you take me and not look back Good gracious, you′re a heart attack We were something like a movie But she was more of a show Spread roots wide in the back of my eyes And she never let it slow I had my hand full of aces Ran her fingers down the back of my neck I stepped back when she laid down that Jack I was losing breath Oh my, you just gotta take a piece of me Try to tease out the other side 'Cause darlin′ I just see you've been so sweet to me I′ve been waiting on the day all night Would it kill you for some peace of mind Would you take me and not look back Good gracious, you're a heart attack
