She Used To Be Mine Lyrics - Katharine Mcphee

It's not simple to say 

That most days, I don't recognize me 

That these shoes, and this apron 

That place, and its 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 

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 that girl that I knew 

Photos 

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 

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 used to be mine 

Oh, used to be mine 

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
