How the hell does a broken heart get back together when it’s torn apart? Teach itself to start beating again?
-Christina Perri, Bluebird

I never thought that you would be the one to hold my heart. But you came around and you knocked me off the ground from the start.
-Christina Perri, Arms

You put your arms around me, and I believe that it’s easier for you to let me go. You put your arms around me and I’m home.
-Christina Perri, Arms

Bang! Bang! Bang! Boy! You’re goin’ down, down, down, boy… to the ground where you left my heart to bleed. Bang! She shot you. Karma tastes so sweet.
-Christina Perri, Bang Bang Bang

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.
-Christina Perri, Jar Of Hearts

I learned to live half alive, and now you want me one more time?
-Christina Perri, Jar Of Hearts

And 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?
-Christina Perri, Jar Of Hearts

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.
-Christina Perri, Jar Of Hearts

What, what might you do to find out why I can’t love you?
I can’t love you
-Christina Perri, Mine

I’m going to lay back down, hope the wind takes me around. I gotta find some courage in this town, ’cause nobody’s going to save somebody who won’t change. It’s time to be brave.
-Christina Perri, Backwards

Proud of me- that’s the only way I want you to be. Look at me and love what you see. I won’t make it alone. I need something to hold.
-Christina Perri, Miles

Kiss me on my shoulder and tell me it’s not over. I promise to always come home to you. Remind me that I’m older to be brave, smart, sweet, and bolder. And don’t give up on what we’re trying to do. Don’t count the miles, count the “I love you’s”.
-Christina Perri, Miles

I’m a ghost of a girl that I want to be most. I’m the shell of a girl that I used to know well.
-Christina Perri, The Lonely

Broken pieces of a barely breathing story where there once was love. Now, there’s only me and the lonely.
-Christina Perri, The Lonely

I’m so sorry, it’s not like me. It’s maturity that I’m lacking. So don’t, don’t let me go. Just let me know that growing up goes slow.
-Christina Perri, Sad Song

No one’s going to take your place. And I’m scared. I’ll never save all the pieces of a love we made.
-Christina Perri, Sad Song

If you could envision the meaning of a tragedy, oh, you might be surprised to hear it’s you and me.
-Christina Perri, Tragedy
