christina perri - sad song [official audio]

Lyrics:
Today I’m gonna write a sad song
And 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
The finger that you’re pointing has knocked
Me on my knees
And all you need to know is…

"I’m so sorry”
It’s not like me
It’s maturity that I’m lacking
So 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
And it’s hard enough to live so far away

I wish I wasn’t always cold
I wish I wasn’t always alone
When the party is over how will I get home
And all you need to know is...

"I’m so sorry”
It’s not like me
It’s maturity that I’m lacking
So don’t let me go
Just let me know
That growing up goes slow

If all the rules were meant to bend
And you swore you were my friend
Now I have to start all over again
Cause no one’s going to take your place
And I'm scared I’ll never save all the pieces
Of love we made

"I’m so sorry”
It’s not like me
It’s maturity that I’m lacking
So 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
Just let me know
That growing up goes slow

Named iTunes’ “Breakthrough Pop Artist of 2011,” Perri earned critical applause and an increasingly fervent fan following with her extraordinary debut, lovestrong. Highlighted by the 5x-platinum-certified smash, “Jar of Hearts,” the album – produced by GRAMMY®-winning producer Joe Chiccarelli (The White Stripes, My Morning Jacket) – entered the SoundScan/Billboard 200 among the top 5 upon its initial 2011 release, while also proving an unqualified international sensation with top 5 success in Australia and Ireland as well as top 10 sales in Canada and the United Kingdom. What’s more, the official “Jar of Hearts” companion visual has drawn over 340 million views via Perri’s official YouTube channel.

Perri followed lovestrong. with the worldwide hit single, “A Thousand Years,” exclusively featured on Summit Entertainment/Chop Shop/Atlantic’s THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN – PART 1 & 2– ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACKS. The track was a multi-format radio favorite, with top 10 airplay at Hot AC and top 25 spins at CHR/Top 40 outlets nationwide. “A Thousand Years” was of course accompanied by an equally popular companion video, now boasting over 1.1 billion individual views via YouTube alone.

HEAD OR HEART, Perri’s acclaimed second album, arrived in 2014, highlighted by the RIAA 2X platinum-certified single, “Human.” Hailed by Billboard as a “delicate alt-pop ballad that should delight supporters of (Perri’s) breakthrough single ‘Jar of Hearts,’” the track proved another colossal hit for Perri, lighting up the Top 10 at multi-format radio outlets nationwide, while also ascending to Top 10 status on the iTunes Store. In addition, the “Human” companion video proved a true online phenomenon, now with close to 186 million views on Perri’s official YouTube channel.

Christina recently released a brand new album, songs for carmella: lullabies & sing-a-longs, on January 17th via Elektra Records. The release was timed with her daughter Carmella’s first birthday. The album sees Perri performing a number of timeless standards alongside beloved Disney favorites and a brand new version of her 7x RIAA platinum-certified classic hit, “a thousand years (lullaby),” in addition to a new original, titled “you mean the whole wide world to me.”

Christina also earned applause as an extraordinary live performer via a series of worldwide headline tours, with sold-out shows in North America, Europe, Asia and Latin America. Other highlights include high-profile TV appearances, festival performances, and treks with Ed Sheeran, OneRepublic, and Demi Lovato, as well as “The Girls Night Out, Boys Can Come Too” co-headline tour alongside Colbie Caillat.

Happiest Birthday Christina!
You've been my ultimate love and my first idol, I love you since 5 years now and I remember i used to be extremely mad about you, my friends used to call me Jr. Perri and whenever I had to do something i always remember you, i've planned to get a tattoo of ur name when I get older, in my room and everywhere and everyday, there was you. I used to listen to your songs everyday and I remember listening to jar of hearts and cry because of my first break up and so many beautiful memories with thousand years and still I listen to your songs and feel so nostalgic and good too cause i was so determined to love you that I learnt the lyrics of all your songs by heart 😁 ofc i miss you on tours, ur sad songs, interviews and albums but i feel so good and happy seeing you happy with your family, Carmella and Paul. I do miss the old you when you used to act crazy and funny like your videos with keltie on her old channel on YouTube and so much more but it's okay cause you are really happy with your family. You are my favorite person and i love you so much. I promise and I'm sure I'll meet you one day and tell you all this. You're doing so great, I'm so proud that i love somebody like you the most. I'm grateful, I wish there are more people like you on this planet. Can't wait for new music! Love you 3000, a heart is nothing if it's not beating right? You are the beats to my heart.❤

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

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

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

I wish I wasn't always cold
I wish I wasn't always alone
When the party is over how will I get home?
And all you need to know is 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.

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

'Cause no one's going to take your place
And I'm scared I'll never save
All the pieces of the 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 to 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
Just let me know that growing up goes slow

"life is short, but its the longest thing youll ever do"

[guillaumeguinet]

Why did i only found this song now 🤦‍♂️

[saracole]

I wish there wasnt evil that enjoys hurting, that threatens all life, I wish all life cared just like I care about life, just like you care about life. If we all just cared about life even just a little to not destroy or intent to harm than the world would be a better, happier place. less crying from the sky, more warm smiles. Songs and smiles so the sky would egnite in rich blue skys. Some fade into the wind or are pushed. Thank you for staying strong in life despite the uphill struggles that poke and torment. Thank you for loving life😍🌷🐛🦋🐝🌳🌈🌿, life without beauty would be a day not at all for stars are needed, no darkness can give light and life. So thank you for caring, life matters and to me you make the world a better place of grace. 🥲when respect is there, I too will be there to care. So fatuiged, I wondered in the afterlife and hurried back because I almost went down the beautiful rabbit hole of wonders, but other stars wate for me. The moon 🥰🌖shined on me tonight, so here I am💖☮️☯️

[gregpahren]

Anyone else get a bit of a Janis Joplin vibe from this song?
