She Used To Be Mine
It's not simple to say
- It's not simple to say
- Most days I don't recognize me
- These shoes and this apron
- This place and it's patrons
- Have taken more than I gave them
- 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 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 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 get 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
- Used to be mine
- She is messy but she's kind
- She is lonely most of time
- She is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie
- She is gone but she used to be mine
