CIt's not simple to say, but
Most dGays I don't recognize me
That these Amshoes and this apron, that place and its patrons
Have Ftaken more than I gave them
CIt's not easy to know
I'm not Ganything like I used to be
Although it's Amtrue I was never attention's sweet center
FI still remember that girl
She's impCerfect but she tries
She is Ggood but she lies
She is Amhard on herself
She is Fbroken and won't ask for help
She is Cmessy but she's kind
G Gaddb9
She is Amall of this mixed up
And baked in a bAm7/Geautiful Fpie
(C or Intro again, depending on preference)
CIt's not what I asked for
Sometimes Glife just slips in through a back door
And Amcarves out a person
And makes you believe it's all tFrue, and now I've got you
And yCou're not what I asked for
If I'm Ehonest I know I would give it all back
For a cAmhance to start over
And rewrite an eAm7/Gnding or tFwo, for that girl that I knew
Who was rCeckless just enough
GGaddb9 Am
Who gets hurt, but who learns how to toughen up when she's bruised
And gets used by a mAm7/Gan who can't lFove, and then she'll get stuck
And be sCcared of the life that's inside her
Growing Estronger each day 'til it finally reminds her
To Amfight just a little
And bring back the fire in her Feyes
