Give Your Heart a Break

Give Your Heart a Break by Demi Lovato is featured in The Break-Up, the fourth episode of Season Four. It is sung by Brody and Rachel.

It is the first song sung at Callbacks, a bar in New York City for NYADA students to sing and enjoy themselves during their spare time. When Rachel, Finn, Kurt, and Blaine go to the bar, Rachel wants to sing Give Your Heart a Break with Finn, but Finn says he doesn't want to and urges Rachel to sing it with Brody instead. Rachel is hesitant at first, but agrees to sing with Brody. When they begin to perform, Finn watches them and acknowledges the chemistry they have. After the performance, Rachel and Finn kiss, but both exchange disheartening looks.

Lyrics[]

Rachel:
The day I first met you
You told me you'd never fall in love
But now that I get you
I know fear is what it really was
Now here we are, so close
Yet so far, haven't I passed the test?
When will you realize
Baby, I'm not like the rest?

Brody and Rachel:
Don't wanna break your heart
Wanna give your heart a break
I know you're scared, it's wrong

Rachel:
Like you might make a mistake

Brody and Rachel:
There's just one life to live
And there's no time to wait

Rachel:
To waste

Brody and Rachel:
So let me give your heart a break

Brody:
Give your heart a break

Rachel:
Let me give your heart a break

Brody:
Your heart a break

Rachel:
Oh yeah, yeah

Brody:
On Sunday, you went home alone
There were tears in your eyes
I called your cell phone, my love
But you did not reply

Brody and Rachel:
The world is ours if we want it
We can take it

Rachel:
If you just take my hand
There's no turning back now (Brody: No turning back)

Brody and Rachel:
Baby, try to understand
Don't wanna break your heart
Wanna give your heart a break
I know you're scared, it's wrong

Rachel:
Like you might make a mistake

Brody and Rachel:
There's just one life to live
And there's no time to wait

Rachel:
To waste

Brody and Rachel:
So let me give your heart a break

Brody:
Give your heart a break

Rachel:
Let me give your heart a break

Brody:
Your heart a break

Rachel:
There's just so much you can take

Brody:
Give your heart a break

Rachel:
Let me give your heart a break

Brody:
Your heart a break

Rachel
Oh yeah, yeah
When your lips are on my lips

Brody and Rachel:
And our hearts beat as one

Rachel:
But you slip out of my finger tips

Brody and Rachel:
Every time you run

Brody (with Rachel harmonizing):
Don't wanna break your heart
Wanna give your heart a break

Rachel:
I know you're scared, it's wrong

Brody and Rachel:
Like you might make a mistake
There's just one life to live
And there's no time

Rachel:
To wait

Brody:
To waste

Brody and Rachel:
So let me give your heart a break

Rachel:
'Cause you've been hurt before (Brody: Give your heart a break)
I can see it in your eyes (Brody: Your heart a break)
You try to smile it away (Brody: Your heart a break)
Some things you can't disguise

Brody and Rachel:
Don't wanna break your heart
Maybe I can ease the ache, the ache
So let me give your heart a break

Brody (with Rachel harmonizing):
Give your heart a break
Your heart a break

Brody and Rachel:
Your heart a break
There's just so much you can take,
Give your heart a break
Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break
Oh yeah, yeah
