It’s been several months and yet this song still comes to mind every now and then.
The song is “Jar of Hearts” by Christina Perri. It talks about a former lover who goes around making girls fall in love with him only to break the girls’ hearts. In the song, the guy is looking for the girl again but the girl won’t have him back because she knows he’ll only hurt her again.
Yeah, yeah, yeah… I still love the guy. And though he does not want me back, I feel that this song speaks to me strongly right now. Not quite that bitter but I’m still a bit angry. So this is my song right now. Especially this line…
Runnin’ ’round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart”
Sad, noh? Really sad. The song is very melancholic. And I’ve been listening to it a lot lately. Haaay… Hope to get over this phase soon.
There’s something about this song, the lyrics and the way Christina Perri sings it that breaks my heart. I’ve been happily married for 7 years now but every time I hear this, I still feel sad. I don’t know why. Good thing my husband’s very understanding and he knows this is just a phase I’m in.
