Christina Perri Quotes

Everything around me inspires and influences me. Mainly love - falling in it, losing it, loving it and hating it.

I was kind of an outcast in school 'cause I always kept to myself and was writing poetry and then going on tour with my brother band all the time, so kids didn't know what to make of me.

What I really love is touring on a bus with my band playing shows every night and feeling the audience, feeling the presence of people actually listening to my music. Feeding my soul is what touring feels like for me and I absolutely refuse to have a bad time doing something I really, really love.

Music has been my everything since day one. It's been my shoulder to cry on, my rock and my best friend.

In real life, I'm such a dorky, happy person. I express myself in three ways: I talk a lot, I write songs and I get tattoos.

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

I can fake a smile. I can force a laugh. I can dance and play the part of that's what you ask. Give you all I am. But I am only human. I bleed when I fall down. I'm only human I crash and I break down. Your words in my head. Knives in my heart. You build me up and then I fall apart.

2AM where do i begin,
Crying off my face again,
The silent sound of lonliness,
Wants to follow me to bed

like a soulmate he's your penguin

It felt very natural to me to write a Christmas song, but at the same time I had to really put all sorts of pressure aside and just let the creativity flow and see what came out.

I can take so much,
'Till I've had enough.

Learning to let things go is key for a good quality of living.

I'm a total protein shake junkie nerd. I get creative every morning - you never know what you're gonna get in my shake ... fruit? Peanut butter? Ice-cream?

*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 ...

I don't take anything too seriously. If I do, I realize pretty quickly that's why I'm uncomfortable.

Emotionally, it was the hardest 33 days of my life, but it was worth it because the result is that this album is 100 percent me. It's heartfelt, real, bold, honest, vulnerable, hopeful, strong, poetic, bluesy, gritty, pretty, and simple.

When people come to my shows, they have the freedom to feel something, and we're all just a big bowl of feels.

You need to love yourself and be yourself one hundred percent before you can actually love someone else.

I have died everyday, waiting for you.

I never thought that you would be the one to hold my heart

Do what scares you, your dreams are there waiting for you.

I believe if I knew where I was going, I'd lose my way.

I'm only human, and I bleed when I fall down.

Heart beats fast

Colors and promises

How do 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

Time stands still

Beauty in all she is

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'll 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

I depend on my family and friends a lot. I have a group of people I'm always honest and current with. I try to get through pain and not go around it, it always ends sooner that way.
