Karaoké She Used to Be Mine Waitress (musical) (Jessie Mueller)

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 but 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

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 'till 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
