It&#039;s not simple to say
That most days I don&#039;t recognize me
That these shoes and this apron
That place and it&#039;s patrons
Have taken more than I gave them
It&#039;s not easy to know
I&#039;m not anything like I used to be
Although it&#039;s true
I was never attention&#039;s sweet
Center
I still remember that girl
She&#039;s imperfect but she tries
She is good but she lies
She is hard on herself
She is broken and won&#039;t ask for
Help
She is messy but she&#039;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&#039;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&#039;s all true
And now I&#039;ve got you
And you&#039;re not what I asked for
If I&#039;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&#039;s bruised
And gets used by a man who can&#039;t
Love
And then she&#039;ll get stuck and be
Scared
Of the life that&#039;s inside her
Getting stronger each day
&#039;Til it finally reminds her
To fight just a little
To bring back the fire in her eyes
That&#039;s been gone but it used to be
Mine
Used to be mine
Bridge:
She is messy but she&#039;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

She used to be mine

by Jessie Mueller

Lyrics & chords · Original key

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

Bridge:

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
