She Used to Be Mine Lyrics - Sara Bareilles



Album : What`s Inside: Songs From Waitress
Released : November 6, 2015



It`s not simple to say
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 to 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 backdoor
And carves out a person
Who makes you believe it`s all true
And now I`ve got you

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
