“Jar of Hearts” is about the struggle to permanently end an abusive relationship. The abusive partner is metaphorically a serial killer who collects the hearts of his victims and keeps them as trophies.
The song is the debut single by American singer-songwriter Christina Perri which premiered on So...
[Verse 1]
I know 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 love the most
[Pre-Chorus]
I learned to live half-alive
And now you want me one more time
[Chorus]
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?
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
And I've learned to live half-alive
And now you want me one more time
[Chorus]
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?
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
And who do you think you are
Runnin' 'round leavin' 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
[Outro]
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
