She Used To Be Mine Lyrics - What's Inside: Songs From Waitress - Sara Bareilles

It's not simple to say 

most days I don't recognize me. 

These shoes and this apron 

this place and its patrons 

have taken more than I gave 'em. 

It's not easy to know 

I'm not anything that 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 but won't ask for help. 

She is messy but she's kind. 

She is lonely most of the time. 

She is all this mixed up 

and baked in a beautiful pie. 

She is gone but she used to be mine. 

And it's not what I asked for. 

Sometimes life just slips in through back door 

Carves out the person 

and makes you believe it's so 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 

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 

that's been gone but it used to be mine. 

Used to be mine 

She is messy but shes 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
