[Intro]
(x4)
[Verse 1]
It's not simpl
e to say
That most days
I don't recog
nize me
That these sho
es and this ap
ron
That place and
it's patrons
Have taken mor
e than I've ga
ve them
It's not easy
to know
I'm not anythi
ng like I used
be
Although it's
true
I was never at
tention's swee
t center
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 t
ime
She is all of
this, mixed up
And baked in a
beautiful pie
She is gone, b
ut she used to
be mine
[Verse 2]
It's not what
I asked for
Sometimes life
just slips in
through a bac
k door
And carves out
a person
And makes you
believe it's a
ll true
And now I've g
ot you
And you're not
what I asked
for
If I'm honest,
I know I woul
d give it all
back
For a chance t
o start over
And rewrite an
ending or two
For the girl t
hat I knew
[Chorus 2]
Who'll be reck
less, just eno
ugh
Who'll get hur
t
But who learns
how to toughe
n up when she'
s bruised
And gets used
by a man who c
an't love
And then she'l
l get stuck an
d be scared
Of the life th
at's inside he
r
Growing strong
er each day
'Til it finall
y reminds her
To fight just
a little
To bring back
the fire in he
r eyes
That's been go
ne, but it use
d to be mine
Used to be min
e
[Refrain]
(strum once)
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, b
ut she used to
be mine
