Jar of Hearts
Christina Perri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'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
And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And 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
And 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 gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?
Dear, 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
And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna 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
Tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?

I've realized that continuing to chase you is futile
'Cause all that's waiting is regret
If I keep going after you, I'll just end up with more pain
Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
I'm not the same person who used to cling to you
You lost the love I loved the most
You lost the part of me that I valued most
I learned to live, half alive
I've adapted to living with a heart that is only partially healed
And now you want me one more time
You're trying to come back into my life, but I'm not interested
And who do you think you are?
What gives you the right to hurt me and then expect me to take you back?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
You've left emotional scars on me
Collecting your jar of hearts
You take pleasure in breaking people's hearts

You're trying to find out where I am
If I am anywhere to be found
You want to know if I'm still available to you
But I have grown too strong
I've become resilient and won't let you hurt me again
To ever fall back in your arms
I'll never go back to a relationship with you
Dear, it took so long just to feel alright
It took me a while to recover from you
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I had to re-learn how to be happy and confident after you
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
I regret ever getting involved with you
'Cause you broke all your promises
You didn't keep the commitments you made to me
And now you're back
You're trying to re-enter my life
You don't get to get me back
I'm not interested in taking you back
Don't come back at all
I don't want you in my life in any way
Who do you think you are?
You need to re-evaluate the way you treat people

@@DLee1923 BIBLE calls us all to be real, sober minded souls, who live holy lives on earth.
BIBLE calls nor expect nobody to be:
- religious of any kind
- monk
- nun
BIBLE expect us to turn our LACK OF KNOWLEDGE into KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH (HOSEA 4:6)
Each human life on earth:
- repent
- BORN AGAIN and GO AND SIN NO MORE
- be baptised in HOLY SPIRIT /THE COMFORTER
- LIVE HOLY
= soul, after earthly death in HEAVEN. Easy logic, asks no degree in anything.
Bible calls us to give out RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT, no to keep our mouth shut and support everything with blind eyes and deaf ears.
See no evil, speak no evil and hear no evil – that old saying, it belongs to masons, am I right again? The vow of silence of theirs.
SOULS, dare to read and study BIBLE (KJV) and search about FREEMASONRY.
