She Use to be Mine…
Song by Sara Bareilles
Lyrics:
It's not
simple to say
Most days I
don't recognize me
These shoes
and this apron
That place
and its patrons
Have taken
more than I gave 'em...
It's not
easy to know
I'm not anything
like I used to be
Although
it's true
I was never
attention 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 be
reckless just enough
Who can 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 it 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…
