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 |
