Jar of Hearts

I don't know why but this one really strikes a chord with me. This is getting quite a bit of play on MTV at the moment which thankfully I just kinda stumbled upon.

I'm not sure how long Christina Perri has been on the scene, but "Jar of Hearts" came across rather polished, but not as something that would be released as a instant hit. Then again, it might simply be refreshing to see things change for the better.

I've often wondered if some people ever truly love, or even know what it is. But the realisation is, some people are just as cold as ice but we rarely see that at first. You can't change that, but you can choose to say "don't come back for me". Because you simply don't care anymore. There comes a time when you need to ask the question and reach that conclusion simply because you must.

I know I can't take one more step towards you
‘Cause all that's waiting is regret
Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most

I learned to live, half alive
And now you want me one more time

Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting Your jar of hearts
Tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So Don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?

I hear you're asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms

I've learned to live, half alive
And now you want me one more time

Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting Your jar of hearts
Tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So Don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?

It took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
‘Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back
You don't get to get me back

Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting Your jar of hearts
Tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So Don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?

Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting Your jar of hearts
Tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So Don't come back for me
Dont come back at all

Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?


While it's often been said that someone will wear their heart on a sleeve, I wonder how many go around collecting them?
