She Used to Be Mine
It's not simple to say
But most days I don't recognize me
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 sweet centre
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 mi-i-ine
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 that girl that I knew
Who was reckless just enough
Who gets hurt but learns
How to toughen up when she's bruised
And get used by a man who can't love
And then she'll get stuck and be scared
Of a life that's inside her growing stronger each thay
Just to remind her
To fight just a little
To bring back the fire in her eyes
That's been gone but used to be mi-i-i-ine
Oh, used to be mi-i-i-ine
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 mi-i-i-ine
But most days I don't recognize me
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 sweet centre
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 mi-i-ine
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 that girl that I knew
Who was reckless just enough
Who gets hurt but learns
How to toughen up when she's bruised
And get used by a man who can't love
And then she'll get stuck and be scared
Of a life that's inside her growing stronger each thay
Just to remind her
To fight just a little
To bring back the fire in her eyes
That's been gone but used to be mi-i-i-ine
Oh, used to be mi-i-i-ine
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 mi-i-i-ine
