Sara Bareilles She Used To Be Mine lyrics

Title: She Used To Be Mine
Artist: Sara Bareilles
♬Lyrics♬
It's not simple to say
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
It's not what I asked for
Sometimes life
Just slips in through a backdoor
And carves out a person
Who 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 the girl that I knew
Who'll be reckless, just enough
Who'll get 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
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

I swear someone saw into my life and then wrote this song.

“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”
All of those words so relatable:’)
Beautiful words too❤❤❤

Reality is never gonna be what you want there will be ups downs twist's turns. But we need to stay strong "to fight just a little and bring back the fier in our eyes". And when we are broken we need to build each other up again love every one of you who is reading and who will be🤗🤗

Words straight from my heart and soul. Thank you .. I wish I could sing.
This is what I would say .

I think this song really spreads awareness about how much the world is changing people. I know I definitely relate to this. Currently, I'm dealing with a lot of different issues. My parents are both homophobic, and I'm actually aromantic. I haven't told them yet, and I don't know when I will. My dad is very sexist towards girls, saying we can't protect ourselves. He was divorced with my mom when I was 3 because he thought she should stay home and take care of my siblings and me. He is very unkind towards other races (besides whites) as well as immigrants. In fact, he once kept me and my sister from singing "Alexander Hamilton" on July 4 because "history focuses too much on immigrants." He thinks we live in the 19th century, I swear. My brother is also very homophobic and sexist. He thinks girls are stupid and weak. He pushes me around whenever he gets the chance. My mom never punishes him for it, saying I was "giving him the reaction he wanted" by getting angry. Instead, I get blamed. I also believe I may be dealing with OCD (I'm not claiming to have it, as I haven't seen a doctor yet), and anxiety. I've been getting chronic headaches from stress and pressure and I'm constantly cleaning, rearranging, and checking things. If you have any tips, let me know.
Everyone has different issues they're dealing with, and it can change us. What we experience changes us, for the better or worse. These words definitely hit home.

I hope you find the love you deserve. I hope you love yourself. I hope you know you have the right to protect yourself from toxic people even if they're family. Sending love and lifting you in prayer.

My life when I was young and believed what I was told. I had to learn the hard way. Damn! I have been used & bruised by a man ...

[@blinday]

...why do I feel called out?

[@leoc.a.7939]

I used to think it said "rewrite an ending more true", but it's "rewrite an ending or two." 😅
