Sara Bareilles She used to be mine karaoke lyrics <br />It's not simple to say <br />That most days I don't recognize me <br />That these shoes and this apron <br />That place and it's patrons <br />Have taken more than I gave them <br />It's not easy to know <br />I'm not anything like I used to be <br />Although it's true <br />I was never attention's sweet center <br />I still remember that girl <br />She's imperfect but she tries <br />She is good but she lies <br />She is hard on herself <br />She is broken and won't ask for help <br />She is messy but she's kind <br />She is lonely most of the time <br />She is all of this mixed up <br />And baked in a beautiful pie <br />She is gone but she used to be mine <br />It's not what I asked for <br />Sometimes life just slips in through a back door <br />And carves out a person <br />And makes you believe it's all true <br />And now I've got you <br />And you're not what I asked for <br />If I'm honest I know I would give it all back <br />For a chance to start over <br />And rewrite an ending or two <br />For the girl that I knew <br />Who'll be reckless just enough <br />Who'll get hurt but <br />Who learns how to toughen up when she's bruised <br />And gets used by a man who can't love <br />And then she'll get stuck and be scared <br />Of the life that's inside her <br />Growing stronger each day <br />'Til it finally reminds her <br />To fight just a little <br />To bring back the fire in her eyes <br />That's been gone but it used to be mine <br />Used to be mine <br />She is messy but she's kind <br />She is lonely most of the time <br />She is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie <br />She is gone but she used to be mine
