She Used to Be Mine (Cover)
It's not simple to say
Most days
I don't recognize me
And these shoes and this apron
This 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
But 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 it 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 that 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
Going 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
Oh, used to be mine
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
Most days
I don't recognize me
And these shoes and this apron
This 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
But 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 it 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 that 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
Going 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
Oh, used to be mine
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
