Jar of Hearts Lyrics

Cover art for Jar of Hearts lyrics by Christina Perri

The whole jist of the song is "who do you think you are?" As in, someone who has the audacity or nerve to even think for an instant she would consider being broken again. Though the perpetrater knew her weaknesses and used them to break her down, she healed and grew stronger and to even imagine that person in her life again is like a slap in the face. Basically, she is saying that she is sickened by the thought that he would ever ask about her again or enter her life and hopes that eventually he will become ill and be plagued by his cold, cold heart. It's more of a cry for remorse, if anything and much, much distance from him. These things are cyclical in nature and are repetitive and are reasons why loneliness never sounded so comforting. Great song and her voice is unique.
