She Used To Be Mine - Sara Bareilles
It's not simple to say
That most days
I don't recognize me
That these shoes
and this apron
that place and its patrons
Have taken more
than I gave them
It's not easy to know
I'm not anything
like I used be
although it's true
I was never
attention's sweet center
I still remember that girl
She's imperfect but she tries
She is good but she lies
She is hard on herself
She is broken
and won't ask for help
She is messy but she's kind
She is lonely most of the time
She is all of this mixed up
and baked in a beautiful pie
She is gone
but she used to be mine
It's not what I asked for
Sometimes life just slips
in through a back door
And carves out
a person and makes
you believe it's all true
And now
I've got you
And you're
not what I asked for
If I'm honest
I know I would give it all back
For a chance to start over
and rewrite an ending or two
For the girl that I knew
Who'll be reckless
just enough
Who'll get hurt but who
learns how to toughen up
When she's bruised and
gets used by a man
who can't love
And then she'll get stuck
And be scared of
the life that's inside her
Growing stronger
each day 'til it finally reminds her
To fight just a little
to bring back the fire in her eyes
That's been gone
but used to be mine
Used to be mine
She is messy but she's kind
She is lonely most of the time
She is all of this mixed up and
baked in a beautiful pie
She is gone
but she used to be mine
