Sara Bareilles - She Used To Be Mine Lyrics
[Verse 1]It's not simple to sayMost days I don't recognize meWith these shoes and this apronThat place and it's patronsHave taken more than I've gave themIt's not easy to knowI'm not anything like I used beAlthough it's trueI was never attention sweet centerBut I still remember that girl[Chorus]She's imperfect but she triesShe is good but she liesShe is hard on herselfShe is broken and won't ask for helpShe is messy but she's kindShe is lonely, most of the timeShe is all of this, mixed upAnd baked in a beautiful pieShe is gone, but she used to be mine[Verse 2]And it's not what I asked forSometimes life just slips in through a backdoorCarves out the person and makes you believe it's all trueAnd now I've got youAnd you're not what I asked forIf I'm honest, I know I would give it all backFor a chance to start overAnd rewrite an ending or twoFor the girl that I knew[Verse 3]Would be reckless, just enoughWho get hurtBut who learns how to toughen up, when she's bruisedAnd gets used by a man who can't loveAnd then she'll get stuck and be scaredOf the life that's inside herGrowing stronger each dayTil it finally reminds herTo fight just a littleTo bring back the fire in her eyesThat's been gone, but it used to be mineUsed to be mine[Outro]She is messy, but she's kindShe is lonely, most of the timeShe is all of this, mixed up, and baked in a beautiful pieShe is gone, but she used to be mine
