| Christina Perri – Jar of Hearts Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
This song really resonated with me the very first time I heard it. I had a very violent and passionate relationship with a boy that consumed my life for a few years. While I dated this boy, he made me feel insecure and desperate, he raped me emotionally, mentally, and physically. I felt like I was nothing without him and his "love". I gave him everything I had to offer, only to be laughed at and mocked in return. He took everything from me, my virginity, my confidence, my individuality, and my passion. We fought all the time, and I believed it meant we cared about each other. I knew he had a bad reputation, but I was so blinded by what I thought to be the good in him that I didn't even notice all the bad signs while we were dating. Turns out, he was cheating on me constantly, and we eventually broke up, but he wouldn't let me go. He kept trying to talk to me or text me or invite me to hang out and we continued fighting about our tumultuous and poisonous relationship. He left for the Air Force, and I barely heard from him for months. When he was in town though, he'd try to get in touch with me through my friends. We finally ended all forms of communication in January, when we had the biggest and worse fight ever. I woke up the next morning feeling better than I had all year. Like, my heart and soul could finally rest, and the only person I had to worry about pleasing, was myself. I feel like Christina must've experienced a similar relationship with a boy, and her song is my love-life biography. |
