20	!!Collecting your jar of tropes:
21	%% * AntiLoveSong: "Mine".
22	* BreakUpSong: "Jar of Hearts" is about a person who wants to rekindle a broken relationship
23	-->And who do you think you are\
24	Running 'round leaving scars\
25	Collecting your jar of hearts\
26	And tearing love apart
27	%% ** "Bang Bang Bang"
28	%% ** "Tragedy"
29	%% ** "The Lonely"
30	%% ** "Sad Song"
31	%% * CatchYourDeathOfCold: "Jar of Hearts":
32	%% -->You're gonna catch a cold from the ice inside your soul
33	* DancingWithMyself: Mentioned in the chorus of "The Lonely". The singer is dancing alone.
34	-->Dancing slowly in an empty room\
35	Can The Lonely take the place of you?
36	* HopeSpringsEternal: The main theme of "I Believe", learning how to keep looking forward even in the face of crushing dread, doubt, and loneliness.
37	-->I believe that tomorrow is stronger than yesterday\
38	and I believe that your head is the only thing in your way\
39	I wish that you could see\
40	your scars turned into beauty\
41	I believe that today, it's okay to be not okay
42	* LonelyPianoPiece: "The Lonely" is entirely about this. It's just Christina and her piano singing about how all she has is the loneliness. Possibly subverted since the song is actually about her being in a relationship with loneliness.
43	%% * LoveMakesYouCrazy: A theme of ''lovestrong''.
44	* LoveMartyr: "Human" seems to be from the perspective of one who [[DespairEventHorizon finally reached her breaking point]], lamenting that even if she can be a StepfordSmiler and hold the weight of the world for the target of the song that she is still human and isn't infallible even when built up.
45	-->I can hold my breath\
46	I can bite my tongue\
47	I can stay awake for days\
48	If that's what you want\
49	Be your number one
50	%% * LoveNostalgiaSong: "Tragedy", "The Lonely".
51	%% * LoveWillLeadYouBack: "Sad Song".
52	%% * ObsessionSong: "Distance".
53	* RhymingWithItself: In the chorus of "Human" the word "down" rhymes with itself.
54	%% * SillyLoveSongs: "Arms", "Distance", "Penguin", "A Thousand Years", "Bluebird".
55	%% * TheSomethingSong: "Sad Song".
56	* StepfordSmiler: The perspective character of "Human", who is more than willing to become this for the target of the song.
57	-->I can fake a smile\
58	I can force a laugh\
59	I can dance and play the part\
60	If that's what you ask\
61	Give you all I am\
