so tell me why ain't nothin but a heartache

Mostly I wonder if Dia Lacina isn't a big DONTNOD fan in general, because their games have always had a real comfy feel to them and a much bigger focus on the smaller interpersonal true to life drama than the big mystical dramatic mystery that serves as its backdrop to add just a spice of page turning motivation. INSIDE OF ME= in BrE we would say 'inside me', without OF.Click to shrink.Not the person you're asking but i have similar experience and have been thinking about that review a lot while playing it. 'I want you to leave' (= if you leave, I’m happy because that’s what I want).ĭEEP DOWN= this is a common expression that emphasises the meaning of 'down', it is 'down and down' (we can’t say 'very down' because that means 'very depressed'). The situation that I want is 'you know', if you know, I’m happy. I WANT YOU TO KNOW= notice this construction. USED TO refers to a habit or situation that was true in the past but not now any more: 'I used to be a soldier' (but now I’m not). TO FALL APART= to crumble, to be destroyed. WANNA= want to (again, in AmE T is often lost after N). Notice the pronunciation of the ending –ACHE (as in 'ake'). A 'heartache' is when your heart hurts (not physically, but emotionally, because of love). HEARTACHE= 'a headache' is when your head hurts, feels painful. That’s incorrect in standard English but it happens in colloquial speech and dialects.

'Ain’t nothing but a heartache'= it isn’t anything but a heartache= it’s only a heartache.ĪIN’T NOTHING= 'it isn’t nothing'. REACH TO a place= get there, be able to go thereĪIN’T= isn’t (coll.). WE ARE (TWO) WORLDS APART= there’s a lot of distance between us (not physical distance)

Notice the common American rule: N+T=N, so he says /w ɒn ɪ t/instead of /w ɒn tɪ t/ I WANT IT THAT WAY= I want it like that (not differently). THE ONE DESIRE= my only desire, the only thing I desire or I want.
