Jessie Mueller - She used to be mine
מחבר ומלחין: 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 it's 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
|
And 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 was reckless just enough
|
Who gets 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
|
Getting 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
|
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
|
