Jar of Hearts is Christina Perri’s debut song, released in July 2010. It is a heart-breaking lyrical ballad dedicated to Perri’s ex-husband whom she divorced after 18 months of marriage.
Christina Perri has first performed the single live on the dance show So You Think You Can Dance. The Jar of Hearts music video premiered on the 13th of September, 2010 on YouTube. The video features a man, inhaling a woman’s heart through kisses. After that, he tries to entice women running by but they all escape. Then the man is left with Perri, and she inhales his heart. In the end, the man falls onto the ground, apparently dead. The symbolic meaning of the video is suffering, mutual torturing in a relationship, and splitting up.

Christina Perri – Jar Of Hearts Song Words
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
And learn 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
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
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
Don’t come back at all

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
Don’t come back for me
Don’t come back at all
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
