Christina Perri - A Thousand Years

Heartbeats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I’m afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What’s standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I love you for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I love you for a thousand more

Christina Perri - "Sad Song"

Today I'm Gonna write a sad song,
I'm gonna make it really long
So that everyone can see,
That I'm very unhappy.


I wish I wasn't always wrong
I wish it wasn't always my fault
But the finger that you're pointing
Has knocked me on my knees
And all you need to know is


I'm 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


I wonder what my mom and dad would say,
If I told them that I cry each day.
But it's hard enough to live so far away.


I wish I wasn't always cold
I wish I wasn't always alone
I wish it wasn't always so cold
When the party is over,
How will I get home?
And all you need to know is


I'm 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


If all the rules were made to bend
And you swore you were my friend
Now I have to start all over again


Cause though it's going to take your place
And I'm scared I'll never save
All the pieces of love we made


And 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 I can slip and fall
And you won't let me go
Just let me know that growing up goes slow


And I'm so sorry
It's not like me
It's maturity that I'm lacking
So don't, don't let me go
Oh let me know that growing up goes slow.

Christina Perri - "Bang Bang Bang"

All my life you know I haven't been very love strong
there's been so many fights that I fought and I never won
So I decided that I should just give up in trying to right your wrong
And word on the street is she did to you what you did to me.


[Chorus]
5,4,3,2,1
Bang! Bang! Bang! Boy!
Your Goin' Down, down, down, Boy
To the ground where you left my heart to bleed
Bang! she shot you.
Karma Tastes so sweet.


So Unfortunately for girls like me there are more like you
bending and breaking the rules we make exceptions to..
But How does it feel!
To swim in your own tears!
You Lied and you lied
And I died and I died
And now you know why..


[Chorus x2]


[music]


Bang. bang bang boy.
Your goin' down down down boy.
To the ground where you left my heart to bleed.
Bang! She shot you!
Karma tastes so bang bang bang boy
your goin down down down boy
to the ground where you left my heart to bleed
Bang! she shot you!
Karma tastes so bang bang bang boy
your 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 - "Distance"

The sun is filling up the room
And I can hear you dreaming
Do you feel the way I do right now?
I wish we would just give up
Cause the best part is falling
Call it anything but love


And I will make sure to keep my distance
Say "I love you" when you're not listening
How long can we keep this up, up, up?


And please don't stand so close to me
I'm having trouble breathing
I'm afraid of what you'll see right now
I give you everything I am
All my broken heart beats
Until I know you understand


And I will make sure to keep my distance
Say "I love you" when you're not listening
How long can we keep this out, out, out?


And I keep waiting
For you to take me
You keep waiting
To save what we have


So I'll make sure to keep my distance
Say "I love you" when you're not listening
How long can we keep this up, up, up?


Make sure to keep my distance
Say "I love you" when you're not listening
How long til we call this love, love, love?

Christina Perri -"Miles"

I’m scared today, more than I told you I was yesterday
Give me a moment to catch my breath
And hold me every second left


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


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


We made it out, and all the other people are asking how
This doesn’t even sound like truth to grow from a bruise
But one day we will realize how hard it was, how hard we tried
And how our hearts made it out alive


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


And these are words I wished you said
But that’s not how it went
‘Cause you gave up on us in the end
And I won’t make it alone, I need something to hold


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
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 -"Penguin"

Can you find the time
to let your lover love you
He only wants to show you
The things he wants to learn too
The hardest parts you'll get through
And in the end you'll have your best friend


Love like this may come once
Baby it's fate
Like a soul mate he's your penguin
Baby it's fate
Baby it's fate
Not luck


Can you find the time to let your lover hold you
He needs somebody to hold to
His love is strong and so true
His arrows aiming for you
And he's the one that you were born to love


Love like this may come once
Baby it's fate
Like a soul mate he's your penguin
Baby it's fate
Baby it's fate
Not luck


Let go
Let go
of time for you
and I
Let go
Let go
of time for you
and I
Let go
Let go
of time for you
and I


Love like this is all I want
Baby were fate
Love like this may come once
Baby were fate
Like a soul mate your my penguin
Baby were fate
Baby it's fate
Not luck

Christina Perri - "Arms"

Title:"Arms"
Album:"LOvestrong"
Artist:"Christina Perri"

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


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


How many times will you let me change my mind and turn around?
I can't decide if I'll let you save my life or if I'll drown


I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home


The world is coming down on me and I can't find a reason to be loved
I never wanna leave you but I can't make you bleed if I'm alone


You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go...


I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home


I tried my best to never let you in to see the truth
And I've never opened up
I've never truly loved 'til you put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go


I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home


You put your arms around me and I'm home

Christina Perri - The Lonely

Title:"The Lonely"
Album:"LOvestrong"
Artist:"Christina Perri"

2am; where do I begin,
Crying off my face again.
The silent sound of loneliness
Wants to follow me to bed.


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.


Dancing slowly in an empty room,
Can the lonely take the place of you?
I sing myself a quiet lullaby.
Let you go and let the lonely in
To take my heart again.


Too afraid to go inside
For the pain of one more loveless night.
But the loneliness will stay with me
And hold me til I fall asleep.


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.


Dancing slowly in an empty room,
Can the lonely take the place of you?
I sing myself a quiet lullaby.
Let you go and let the lonely in
To take my heart again.


Broken pieces of
A barely breathing story
Where there once was love
Now there's only me and the lonely.


Dancing slowly in an empty room
Can the lonely take the place of you?
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
Let you go and let the lonely in
To take my heart again.

Christina Perri - "Tragedy"

Title:"Tragedy"
Album:"LOvestrong"
Artist:"Christina Perri"

If you could envision
The meaning of a tragedy...oooh
You might be surprised to hear it's you and me
When it comes down to it
You never made the most of it...oooh
So I cried, cried, cried
And now, say goodbye


And I won't be made a fool of...
Don't call this love


When did you decide
I didn't have enough to buy?
Forgive and forget you a thousand times
For the fire and the sleepless nights


And I won't be made a fool of...
Don't call this love
I don't call this love
...la la la la la la love


Why did you feel the need to prove that everybody else was right?...
No I... won't fight


Oh you're my tragedy... tragedy
Oh you're my Tragedy,
Oh this is ohhh no no no

Christina Perri - Bluebird

Title:"Blue Bird"
Album:"LOvestrong"
Artist:"Christina Perri"

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


This little bluebird came looking for you
I said that I hadn’t seen you in quite some time
And this little bluebird came looking again
I said we weren’t even friends, she could have you


Don’t you think it was hard?
I didn’t even say that you died
But it wouldn’t have been such a lie, ‘cause then I started to cry


This little bluebird sure won't give it a rest
She swears that you may be better than all the rest
I said, “No, you’ve got it all wrong.
If he was something special, I wouldn’t have this song.”


And don’t you think it was hard?
I didn’t even say that you died
But it wouldn’t have been such a lie, ‘cause then I started to cry


How the hell does a broken heart get back together when it’s torn apart?
And teach itself to start beating again?


What if when she comes over, I am in your arms, taking all I want from you again?


How the hell does a broken heart get back together when it’s torn apart?
Teach itself to start beating again?
How the hell does a broken heart get back together when it’s torn apart?
Teach itself to start beating again?
Beating again


This little bluebird won’t come here anymore
So I went looking for her, and I found you

Christina Perri-JAR OF HEARTS!

Title: Jar Of Hearts!
Singer:Christina Perri!
Album:LOve Strong!
Writers : Christina Perri, Drew Lawrence, Barrett Yeretsian!
Release Date: July 27,2010!

No 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 around 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 your asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms


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


And who do you think you are
Running around 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


And it took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I would have missed the first time that we kissed
Cause you broke all your promises
And now your back
You don’t get to get me back


And who do you think you are
Running around 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


And who do you think you are
Running around 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
