Jar of Hearts Lyrics

I know 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.

And who...

    this song IS NOT ABOUT A SERIAL KILLER! 'Collecting your jar of hearts' is purely hypothetical. he was breaking girls hearts.

    Actually, this song is about the boy having aids, and sleeping with all these girls and giving them hiv. In the video, if the girl is wearing white, its only hiv, white and black is transitioning to aids, ad black is full on aids.

    This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

    This song is about a narcissist! The video does a wonderful job of showing how Narcissists move from one woman to another- and then try to drag previous victims back in again and how these victims struggle to be freed.

    It shows how these heartless men take something from each of their victims and how the victims recovertana765@yahoo.com, become strong, and take back what has been stolen from them.

    The jar of hearts represents the number of hearts that the man she loved has broken.

    this song can be taken in more then two ways... you can look at it how everyone else looks at it, with its about and ex boyfriend...
    or you can look at it like i do, i can be about a girl or girls being raped that are becoming survivors. this song made me realize im nt the only rape victim and i can become a survivor...

    i think the meaning of the song is that he cheated on her and he broke her heart and kept going to other girls and breaking there hearts to so that is why the song says "who do you think you are running around leaving scars" and she says "your going to catch a cold from the ice inside your soul" because he is a bad person. and at the end she finally says no because she doesn't want to get hurt again -LOVE:p

    I think this song is about a girl who learned to deal with her sadness. She doesn't give the other girls hearts back, she just heal her own heart. Because of the pain she's been throught, she learn to be strong and say no to the guy that hurt her. She still loves him, but she can finally move on. She gives him a confrontation with himself because what she's saying.

    This song is about a guy that keeps coming back into her life then leaving again. She says no everytime but doesn't really mean it. The song is about the time when she finally says no and means it. Everyone has that one person that they allow to take advantage of them and then finally put their foot down. Its saying I'm getting over you and living my life again and I won't let you ruin that.

    I think that this song is about an abusive relationship and when she finally had the strength to break away from him he wanted her back even though she had to live "half a life" because of him

    I looked on wikipedia and it said she divorced her husband after only 18 months of marriage. It could have something to do with that..idk

    The saddest thing is, narcissists do this in all relationships. This doesn't necessarily mean it was a love from a boyfriend relationship but about a parent with this disorder or a best friend.
