Jar Of Hearts

On my old blog, I participated in 10 Music Monday memes. That's something I want to start doing here, too. My first was last March 1st - Unwritten (I was unaware at the time it was The Hills theme song -- I was a bit bummed when I saw that show for my first and only time a few weeks later when they were having a marathon on MTV since I consider it MY theme song and my life is thankfully NOTHING like The Hills, lol!), then a week later was Because Of You, which has been appropriate for me at different times of my life, a week after that was Breakaway (a song I've identified with forever), then The Motions (one of my favorite Christian songs that I also have related to off & on through the years), and then Two Sets Of Jones' (another Christian song). I took two months off until I posted What Do You Want From Me last June, then Apologize, followed by After All, as well as Cats In The Cradle, and last was Grown Up Christmas List in December.

For my first Music Monday on this site, I'm posting Christina Perri's song "Jar Of Hearts." LOVE it.



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 loved the most

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

And who do you think you are
Running '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

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
