title: paper hearts
pairing: any
…
and who do you think you are?
running around leaving scars,
collecting your jar of hearts,
tearing love apart
-Christina Perri, Jar of Hearts
have you ever ripped up a heart?
an itsybitsyteenyweeny little
paper heart?
.
ripped it down the middle with no feelings at all?
tore it in t-w-o
just like he tore
y o u?
.
he b-r-o-k-e you, didn't he, darling?
[promisespromisespromises]
told you he'd love you foreverandeverandever
[lieslieslies]
said he'd neverever leave
[gonegonegone]
.
baby girl, he pulled your heart on a s-t-r-i-n-g
dragged all 'round the grass until it was all
broken&lost
[just like you]
.
darling, you were always just talktalktalk
and the one day you tried to walk the walk,
he let you
f-a-l-l
[spiralcrashburndie]
.
but don't worry, sweetheart
someday, someone's gonna pick up your little
stained glass heart,
and they're gonna know just how to hold it
.
pick up the pieces again&again,
but don't ever let that smile leave your face,
because, darling, someone's going to fall in love with it someday
[maybe they already have]
.
just keep r-i-p-p-i-n-g your little hearts
write his name again&again&again
and rip until there's no strength left in your arms
.
because after every night, the sun will rise again
