"Jar of Hearts"- Christina Perri

Sounds like a song of a woman that was NARCED.

"Jar Of Hearts"

No, I can't take one more step towards you
‘Cause all that's waiting is regret
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

Who do you think you are?
Runnin' '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

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

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

Who do you think you are?
Runnin' '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?
Runnin' '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?

Funny you post this because

Funny you post this because before I even became a member I saw this video months ago and thought It described him, then after becoming a member I have no doubt i'n my mind that it's definitely about an exn, all the women i'n the video were his supply! It's a tripped out video and the lyrics are awesome, your going to cathch a cold with all that ice i'n your soul! Love this song!

Talk about projection . . .

the xN actually sent this song to ME! Around the same time I had been listening to it thinking it perfectly described him. As soon as he sent it to me I deleted it from my iTunes. Freaking projecting his garbage onto me - a$$hole.

I MUST ask you, have you ever seen the video for Christina Perri's "Jar of Hearts"? I'm asking, because a friend of mine told me about the song several weeks ago and when I watched the video, I balled. It shows EXACTLY what a N does to women...what's been done to us! He sucks our energy out...THAT gave me chills. I was just curious to hear what you think :) TovaBella

Staying Strong78...the video

You'll have to let me know what you think if you get the chance :) When I first saw it, not only did I cry, I was speechless...it made me think of an energy vampire. It was unbelievable.

OMG! I just watched it online and wow. Energy vampire is exactly what I thought. I have goosebumps. It's exactly what a narc does...soul sucking. And at the end...when she doesn't allow him to take her energy, he falls down.....they can't survive without taking from others. wow, thanks for letting me know about the video!! xoxo

It sure does! Two other songs that really fit for me are (I know I've said this before :) Two songs from Adele's album "21"....Turning Tables and Set Fire to the Rain. LOVE these two songs....along with Rolling in the Deep. ~KG

Someone like you

Adele's "Someone like you" is apparently on the same theme. Adele recently told PEOPLE magazine that a breakup inspired her "21" album. John Legend does an awesome acoustic cover of "Rolling in the deep."

Someone Like You

I downloaded that today as well to add to my playlist, along with "Set Fire to the Rain." Seems like the whole album qualifies.

I love Adele! That CD is awesome! The first time I heard it I wondered if she had been in a relationship with a Narc!
