[Verse 1]
It's not simpl
e to say
That most days
, I don't reco
gnize me
That these sho
es and this ap
ron
That place and its patrons
Have taken mor
e than I gave
them
It's not easy
to know
I'm not anythi
ng that I used
to be althoug
h
It's true, I w
as never atten
tion's sweet c
enter
I still rememb
er that girl
[Chorus 1]
She's imperfec
t but she trie
s
She is good bu
t she lies
She is hard on
herself
She is broken
and won't ask
for help
She is messy b
ut she's kind
She is lonely
most of the ti
me
She is all of
this mixed up
and
baked in a bea
utiful pie
She is gone bu
t she used to
be mine
[Verse 2]
And it's not w
hat I asked fo
r
Sometimes life
just slips in
through a bac
kdoor
and carves out
a person and
makes you beli
eve it's all t
rue
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 b
ack
for a chance t
o start over
And rewrite an
ending or two
for the girl that I knew
[Chorus 2]
Who'd be reckl
ess just enoug
h
Who'd get hurt
but who learn
s how to tough
en up
When she's bru
ised and gets
used
By a man who c
an't love
And then she'll get stuck
And be scared
of the life th
at's inside he
r
Growing strong
er each day
'Til it finally reminds her
To fight just
a little
To bring back
the fire in he
r eyes
That's been go
ne but used to
be mine
Used to be min
e
[Ending]
She is messy b
ut she's kind
She is lonely
most of the ti
me
She is all of
this mixed up
and baked in a
beautiful pie
She is gone bu
t she used to
be mine
