Happy Sunday Everyone!

Here is my submission for this week’s Open Mic Contest! I’ve been meeting a lot of newer users that are musicians lately, and I always, always recommended join open mic as a starting point! This really is the best place to meet fellow musicians and get plugged into the music community here on Steemit.

Big thanks to our hosts @luczpher and @pfunk and our bad ass judges @soundlegion, @verbal-d, @passion-ground and @krystle.

This week I did a cover of Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri. Here are the 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

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

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?

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
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


This song has so much raw emotion and it’s really one of my favorites to sing. I have so much Christina Perri as an artist. She has come out with so many great songs throughout the years and continues to stay relevant as an artist.

I hope you guys enjoy this video! ❤️

Thanks for the great compliment!! ❤️

oooh I didn't know I knew this till you got to the chorus. I like this song a lot, thanks for covering it.

I’m so glad you enjoyed it @thesimpson! It’s funny how some songs require getting to the chorus before they are recognizable! Happens to me all the time. 😊
