Jar of Hearts - Christina Perri
The song "Jar of Hearts," by Christina Perri is about a man "playing" several woman at a time. He goes around hurting them all and metaphorically speaking puts there hearts in a jar. The pharse in the song "running around leaving scars" means he leaves a girl as soon as he picks her up and hurts there hearts. He evenually wants her back and is looking around for her but she doesn't want him back because he already hurt her once. Throughout the song she keeps asking "who do you think you are" meaning that he thinks he better then what he actually is to be doing that to so many girls. Another poetic device the song includes is imagery, "runnin round leaving scars/ collecting your jar of hearts." I see someone hurting people and breaking their hearts. This song is considered free verse but there is some rhyming such as "around" and "found." A lot of repetition is used throughout the song, "who do you think you are," for example. I really liked the feeling that the girl singing the song was confronting the guy who was out there hurting all these woman. Although, I have never heard of Christina Perri I really liked this song by her and hope to hear more.
No I can't take one more step towards you
Cause all that's waiting is regret
And 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
And who do you think you are
Runnin' round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gunna 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 to strong
To ever fall back in your arms
I learned to live, half-alive
And now you want me one more time
And who do you think you are
Runnin' round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gunna 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 lights in my eyes
I wished 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
And who do you think you are
Runnin' round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gunna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
And who do you think you are
Runnin' round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gunna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
