It's not simple to say
Most days Idon't recognize me
These shoes and this apron
That place andit's patrons
Have taken more than I gave them
It's not easy to know
I'm not anything like I used to be
Althoughit'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 andwon't ask for help
She is messy butshe'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
Andit's not what I asked for
Sometimes life just slips in through back door
Carves out the person
And makes you believeit's so true
And nowI've got you
Andyou're not what I asked for
IfI'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 whenshe's bruised
And gets used by a man whocan't love
And thenshe'll get stuck and be scared
Of the lifethat'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 butshe'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
