I vaguely know the story of Waitress, but I know the song is talking about the suddenly pregnancy. But even so, it reminds me of not only my struggle, but my friends struggles, with depression. It takes the life out of you, and the person you were before is gone. "And then she'll get stuck and be scared of the life that's inside her...getting stronger each day, as 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." That struggle of overcoming and getting back to a place where you are okay again is exactly like that. Just wanted to throw that out there.
It's about being pregnant and finally wanting to escape her abusive husband and cheating with her doctor and how much she misses being her own person and this song is about fantasizing her old self and what will might happen if she stays like this
This is after Earl found the money she was hiding to leave him. It’s an intense scene that finally breaks her down to feel that she’s trapped with no way out and baby that’s going to grow up like she did. It’s more implied than in the film that a cycle of abuse circled Jenna and her mother.
@@Wander85942 yess I only saw the musical and it vaguely says her mother was abused and the only safe place was the kitchen, that's where her mom kept her away from him and distracted her
The great thing about music; is its so versatile, it can relate to so many scenarios. Just because that's what its intention was doesn't mean it cant relate to other things.
Well the point is that she is a very ordinary woman. Her life wasn't anything spetacular before getting into an abusive relationship but it was hers. That's what makes this musical so amazing to me. You don't need to be a superhero to be a strong woman. You can be ordinary
The Silver Vixen They need to respect your privacy! And mine for that matter! For example: * “She is broken, and won’t ask for help,” “She is messy, but she’s kind” “She’s good, but she lies” “She’s hard on herself” “She’s lonely most of the time” “She’s imperfect, but she tries” and “I was never attentions sweet center”* But for that last one, I don’t want to be the center of attention. Edit: but seriously musical producers, STOP READING ME LIKE A BOOK!
The entire comment section: Wow this is so relatable to me, *it’s almost like the song is listing basic human flaws that all 7.6 billion of us can relate to* They aren’t reading you like a book. You’re just taking these few qualities and saying “this is me” when in reality you are so much more than those.
She Used to Be Mine Sara Bareilles Lyrics 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 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 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'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
PrestaPreda Actually it is by Sara Barailles!! I believe she was also the one who played Jenna, who sang this song, in the musical Waitress!! You should check out her music video of this.
Arrow Shot Gacha bro when I didn’t know what waitress was I thought this was a song about two girls breaking big up and then one of them a like “shit I miss her” and then I listened to the song and went “oh shit that’s not what this is at all-“
reyna michaelis I’ll try make this short, but it probably won’t be. Sorry! Pretty much, Jenna is a waitress with a talent for baking pies, who is pregnant with her abusive husband’s child. He claims all of her hard-earned money and tells her if she needs anything, he’ll buy it if he approves. Before this particular scene her husband finds money she was hiding around the house to get to a pie-baking contest. The prize was a large amount of money, which she’d use to break free from him and start a new life. Afraid of his response, Jenna tells her husband it was meant to be a surprise, to buy things for their baby, who she feels mostly resentful for. In this song, she realizes how much she’s changed and how hopeless she feels now that her plan is ruined. The girl Jenna refers to in the song is her younger self, who was damaged but never gave up.
You all shouldn't be sad just because you were an "accidental baby". Your mothers must be as happy to have you all as they are to have your siblings! So please, don't think you guys are accidents!

Thanks fo da likes
When you uploaded this in September, I was going through a really hard time where I really missed my old life and wanted to go back and correct my mistakes. I just hope you know that this cover is the only song I have ever properly sobbed at. Every now and again I go back to it again and still kinda relate to it - and Anna's version is the one I always come back to over all others, including the original. It's just... how can one person physically be so talented?!
Thank you for this, Anna. Truly. I’m a single mom, and my daughter’s father was emotionally abusive toward me. This song is so extremely important because I had a moment with my daughter like this when I was pregnant with her. I can never sing this song without hysterically crying. I’ve heard this version so many times. I feel like you’ve given me the voice I painfully lose when I try singing this. Thank you, Anna. Thank you so much. ❤️
I know its been 4 years but I’m sending so much love your way. I hope you wake up today and remember you matter. Thank you for everything you’ve done ❤
As someone with depression, I can say I love this song and love to listen to it. I know the context of the song but some of the lyrics hit me differently. Like whenever I listen to this song I just think someone with depression is just singing to them happier selves and know they’re just getting stronger everyday they wake up even though they don’t feel strong.
I actually wrote a song like that, well, I wrote a parody, but it’s my version of this song, I haven’t been diagnosed with depression, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I do have it, so yeah, I don’t really know how to explain it, but I don’t really like being called by my name, Mallory, because I want Mallory to be remembered as the happy, innocent person that she was, not the sad, lonely, suicidal person I am It's not simple to say Most people have never met me A smile and a laugh It’s enough for no one to notice that Mallory’s been dead for 4 years People think they know Mallory, but they’ve never met her Although we’re so different My family still doesn’t know, that we aren’t the same I still remember that girl The world was perfect, through her eyes She was good, rarely lied And she loved herself She's not broken, no need for mental help She was messy but she was kind Never lonely, happy all the time How I wish We never had to say goodbye She is gone but she used to be mine 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’d probably give it all back For a chance to start over And rewrite an ending or two For the girl that I knew Who was clueless just enough Who got hurt but Tried so hard to toughen up although she was bruised And got used by the woman who killed her And now I’m stuck and I’m scared Of this life that’ll soon go to waste ‘Cause it gets harder each day 'Til it becomes too much To fight just a little At least I’ll see her, when I die Too long she’s been gone but she used to be mine Used to be mine She was messy but she was kind Never lonely, happy all the time How I wish We never had to say goodbye She is gone but she used to be mine
Yeah. I get depressive episodes everyday and just a lot but the song She Used To Be Mine does hit me differently since I legit busted out crying and sobbing all over the place for like an hour. The song reminds me of my grandma who passed last year and I get depressed a lot and I think she's the reason why I'm sad and mad all the time cause I'm not over her. Like at all. I miss her and I wish she could come back...
I just finished a lovely comic by a very talented artist when this song came on. I was reading the dedication page and it made me cry my eyes out. Your voice is beautiful and captures emotions so well. I love your voice and passion. Keep being you!
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 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 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'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
It has been a year since I have lost my friend, Donut, and she loved this musical. Now that she is gone this song has much more meaning, but your cover makes me think of her and all of the good memories. Thank you so much Anna❤️
Putting aside the fact that her voice and the emotion she puts into her singing is breathtaking, truly, this is a beautiful song. I keep listening to it, and I keep checking to see if I can like it but I already have. It's just so perfect.
God dammit woman you literally just made my already fucking amazing day perfect with your beautiful disney princess voice (especially because i was literally thinking about going to see waitress soon)
This is superb, Anna. Really, I've always loved your voice, but this cover is just out of the world. The stylistic choices you made fit the song perfectly. Your technique seems overall healthier. I'm running out of words in English to describe this, so yeah, I just really loved it.

I like waitress but I absolutely adore it's music!! Do you think you can do a cover of "When he sees me" your voice would be perfect for it. Thank you for doing a cover of this song, I didn't know I needed this in my life ❤❤
Thank you Anna, my cousin and I sang this song together just before Christmas last year. You gave us one last happy memory before she passed away in January. You have no idea how much this songs keep a her memory alive with me.
Whenever I hear this song I start to cry because my grandma died when I was 6 and I haven't been the same since. This songs reminds me so much of that and your cover of it is so emotionally powerful. You did an amazing job on this cover Anna. Keep doing what your doing! 🥰🥰
I stubbed my toe and saw this in my recommended then proceeded to listen until I forgot all about the pain the wooden door caused me. I then got up and stubed the other toe against the same door. Darn you door T-T
OH MY! I feel so blessed!! This is absolutely favorite song, but my mom doesn't like the voice of the singer. She much prefers a voice like yours. I can finally show her this song!! Amazing work as always!! (^ω^)
Please Disney release a bisexual Disney Princess voiced by Anna. A duet between two lovers. Theory for a story. A young woman is conflicted between loving her best friend and a Young Man she’s known for a few months. She denies her feelings and is conflicted between the two. Blasts out this ballad and the girl she loves harmonises at the very end. Disney hit. The end 🏰
okokok can we all just sit down and think. she added a tiny pause at the end of the song, let's talk about this itty bitty light of my life, she added this pause ( i presume) so that the piano can wow us with that music, and wow, they are great, but still, there is a tiny pause AFTER that, and that's why i"m typing a paragraph about a pause at the end of a video. that pause, just lets you sit there, realize how much you love her vocals, and the song itself, and the message and dadadada this is amazing, but it also gives you enough time to get back to the tab that is playing music and repeat the song but isn't soo long that you get annoyed if you don't want to listen to it again. ( which I have no idea why you wouldn't but that's another talk) and can we all just thank her for this? if i can stop in the middle of an animatic to inform this comment section, you can stop for two seconds and like this video, leave a nice comment, and share with a friend, family member, whoever, this my friends, is true kindness. thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you take the time to leave your own comment. sincerely, Syotie
Okay, as much as I love Wicked, SCREW DEFYING GRAVITY!!! Don't get me wrong, Defying Gravity is amazing, but I am very aware of how hard the song is. You did an absolutely FABULOUS job with this song, Anna, and I literally almost cried from the beautiful combination of this song and your voice
Before I start rambling on, Anna, thank you so much for covering this song. Even if it wasn't for me, the heart you pour into your covers shows so much emotion behind it that there's no doubt in my mind you could be a professional singer if you tried, but we're happy to have you here on TH-cam. As for why I'm so happy you covered this, when I sing this song I'm immediately reminded of a close friend of mine, Taryn, who I've been trying to make happy for about ten years now. She and I were inseperable nine years ago, when we would tell each other literally everything about our lives. Our dreams, our passions. We would cry on each other's shoulders when we were hurt and cheer for each other in whatever we did. We first met in a group of friends called the "Guardanian Wolf Pack" before she was forcefully removed by my life by someone who's name I to this day do not know, but we call him Fox Face. Despite my warnings, she got into a relationship with this person and to keep her, he proceeded to tear apart the friendships I had come to enjoy, turning every single person in our group against one another to ensure he would not have any competition. He forcefully separated me and Taryn, and she ended up marrying him for all of a year while he forced her to break her lines of contact with me. They were together for a good year to my knowledge before they broke up and she moved away, and a few years later she managed to get back in contact with me. However, she was changed quite a bit by him, and is no longer nearly as close a friend with me as she used to be. Though she now has a rather large group of friends and a fiance', I cannot help but wish for the days when she and and I were best friends, when I wished I could stomach the courage to ask her out and try my damndest to make her happy. This song reminds me of the girl I fell in love with, even if she's gone from my life now. It reminds me of the friend I had before she was torn from my life, and no matter what I do or say, I'll never be able to change her mind on the man she is with now. I hope by listening to this song, specifically your cover of it and many others, that I will finally be able to have closure and move on. Thank you so much, Anna! Never stop singing, and I hope one day I can sing a duet with you!
stoneheart as i read ur comment it reminded me of my mom. When she was with my dad he would physically and mentally hurt her and she was forced into the marriage by her parents and since she left him she developed depression and her parents hate her. She now has a new husband but i will never forget those times whne she told me about teh past with my father with tears down her face. Ever since her relationship with my dad she has never been the same. He made her cut all contact with all of her friends and wanted her all to himself. He was abusive and was a drugatic and alcoholic. I’m glad she left him but sometimes i wonder taht if she didn’t would my life be better.
Isa no joke just looked it up and I almost passed out seeing that the music was made from one of my favorite singers Sara Bareilles because I LOVE her music and voice but compared to Anna she stands not much of a chance
*Literally after this song* Me: I need a new heart I think mine broke Mom: what why? Did something happen? Me: *shows mom song* Mom: *sniffles* I think I need a new heart too sweetie
two years, and this song still manages to make me tear up. This song's meaning hits home for me, its awe inspiring and beautiful, your voice completes it.
This actually brought tears to my eyes and that has never happend before! I can feel the emotion in you're voice as you sing its pretty amazing. So just wanted to say i think youre awesome Anna :)
Her voice gives me chills, the amount of talent she has is unbelievable and the way her voice makes people feel her emotions while singing is so powerful! Keep doing what you're doing because it's really amzing❤💖
Whoever gave this cover a dislike needs help, Anna your cover of this was beautiful and I admire how much emotion put into it. I bet this took alot of practice and you inspire me to be the best person I can so thank you! Btw I am perfectly aware that I'm a year late but still what can say
I wanted to play a song for my rehearsal, this is perfect thank you. I never could afford singing lessons but I feel I get better every time I sing along with you thank you anna for everything. You have no idea what your channels done for me!
I’m not sure how to put into words how this cover has me feeling. You sung the first three lines and I stared balling. It ended and I was still heaving. I walked around my room, sat down, cried, and hugged myself. I breathed, and watched a show I like that no one I care about likes, but I like it. I got happy and cried again. It’s been less than 30 minutes and I feel like I’ve felt every feeling I’ve ever felt. It’s refreshing coming from someone who has trouble opening up even to themselves. Thanks.
I love the fact you can hear how she's singing this song and that it hits deep in her feels. She's not worried about sounding perfect it's all genuine and absolutely beautiful to listen to. Love hearing you sing Queen 👸
This is one of five songs of Anna that helps me fall asleep every night. On a lucky night, if no ads get played between songs, I'll suddenly realize after the fourth repeat I've fallen asleep already.
I saw this musical the night before I found this. This scene was emotional, raw and pushed the limits of voice control. What a vocal range! I'm actually crying.
ANNA STOP FOLLOWING ME!!! I listen to heathers and the she releases a cover to fight for me. I listen to Hamilton for hours then boom congratulations! Now... now it's waitress!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
BREATHTAKING!! This was the first video that I heard you I think, and honestly, it's absolutely beautiful. You put so much emotion into this piece, and honestly, I almost cried. Though hard to understand lyrics, I can hear the broken-hearted tone in your voice getting more and more amazingly tear jerking. Amazing, just stunning 💓
I was having an EXTREMELY OVERWHELMING EMOTIONAL nostolgia trip and ranting about saying goodbye to my younger self. Listening to this song helped me calm down while still processing all my emotions. Thank you for existing and sharing your voice with the world. You're an inspiration.
This song reminds me so much of my best friend who was practically my sister. I didn’t know a life without her until 3 years ago when cancer took her life. I miss her so much but knowing that Anna covered this song and made it so beautiful is helping me so much with coping with her death. So thank you Anna, so much.
I’ve been studying this song for a year and singing it. There are so many ways people can sing it. Mine’s more raw because I’m mostly just an actress and singer. But yours is so polished. It’s really refreshing to hear.
sunnyvee music IKR? My mom knows I'm a lunatic about Hamilton and it's all I ever think about, so she got the pack so it wasn't as expensive, also getting amazing musicals.
i like the fact that anna doesnt show her face because you only judge her by her voice not her face. she is recognized by her talent

I vaguely know the story of Waitress, but I know the song is talking about the suddenly pregnancy.
But even so, it reminds me of not only my struggle, but my friends struggles, with depression.
It takes the life out of you, and the person you were before is gone.
"And then she'll get stuck and be scared of the life that's inside her...getting stronger each day, as 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."
That struggle of overcoming and getting back to a place where you are okay again is exactly like that.
Just wanted to throw that out there.
It's about being pregnant and finally wanting to escape her abusive husband and cheating with her doctor and how much she misses being her own person and this song is about fantasizing her old self and what will might happen if she stays like this
This is after Earl found the money she was hiding to leave him. It’s an intense scene that finally breaks her down to feel that she’s trapped with no way out and baby that’s going to grow up like she did. It’s more implied than in the film that a cycle of abuse circled Jenna and her mother.

GUYs. They know what actually happened in the musical. They're just throwing out their two cents.
The great thing about music; is its so versatile, it can relate to so many scenarios. Just because that's what its intention was doesn't mean it cant relate to other things.

They need to respect your privacy! And mine for that matter! For example:
* “She is broken, and won’t ask for help,” “She is messy, but she’s kind” “She’s good, but she lies” “She’s hard on herself” “She’s lonely most of the time” “She’s imperfect, but she tries” and “I was never attentions sweet center”*
But for that last one, I don’t want to be the center of attention.
Edit: but seriously musical producers, STOP READING ME LIKE A BOOK!

Wow this is so relatable to me, *it’s almost like the song is listing basic human flaws that all 7.6 billion of us can relate to*

MEEEEEEE
She Used to Be Mine
Sara Bareilles
Lyrics
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 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 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'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
Elyza Rosel Endrinal thank you

Actually it is by Sara Barailles!! I believe she was also the one who played Jenna, who sang this song, in the musical Waitress!! You should check out her music video of this.
Bless your soul
Thanks a lot. I was trying to find what the actual words were for a specific part of the song.
p
*_Watches like I know what “Waitress” is_*
It's a musical '^'
Arrow Shot Gacha bro when I didn’t know what waitress was I thought this was a song about two girls breaking big up and then one of them a like “shit I miss her” and then I listened to the song and went “oh shit that’s not what this is at all-“
@@emilybaggins7756 please tell me what it's actually about im so confused
reyna michaelis
I’ll try make this short, but it probably won’t be. Sorry!
Pretty much, Jenna is a waitress with a talent for baking pies, who is pregnant with her abusive husband’s child. He claims all of her hard-earned money and tells her if she needs anything, he’ll buy it if he approves. Before this particular scene her husband finds money she was hiding around the house to get to a pie-baking contest. The prize was a large amount of money, which she’d use to break free from him and start a new life. Afraid of his response, Jenna tells her husband it was meant to be a surprise, to buy things for their baby, who she feels mostly resentful for.
In this song, she realizes how much she’s changed and how hopeless she feels now that her plan is ruined. The girl Jenna refers to in the song is her younger self, who was damaged but never gave up.
@@cerisejaxel9636 oh. _oh._ totally not what i expected. thanks a lot!!
when i first saw this i cried because my mom was pregnant and i was a "Bonus Baby" so the line 'your not what i asked for' hit me hard 11/10
:(
Same. I was, what my mom calls, an “oopsies”
I was an accidental pregnancy lol
You all shouldn't be sad just because you were an "accidental baby".
Your mothers must be as happy to have you all as they are to have your siblings!
So please, don't think you guys are accidents!
@@itzquintle9479 Yeah I agree with u! All of u are loved no matter where u are in the world!
This is such a powerful song, this really showed off your range! Absolutely incredible.
SonicpoX I love her voice but I just think she could go even further with her voice! She's awesome!
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 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 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'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 literally heard this song for the first time two days ago and then you post this....
When you uploaded this in September, I was going through a really hard time where I really missed my old life and wanted to go back and correct my mistakes. I just hope you know that this cover is the only song I have ever properly sobbed at. Every now and again I go back to it again and still kinda relate to it - and Anna's version is the one I always come back to over all others, including the original. It's just... how can one person physically be so talented?!
This version is awesome!
The emotion she puts in all of her covers really gets me every time but this one actually made me cry
anna sings - "it's not"
me- likes video already

and Peggy I WILL TELL YOUR STORY!!!😂😭👍👆
Well now I can never change my profile picture lmao
Thank you for this, Anna. Truly.
I’m a single mom, and my daughter’s father was emotionally abusive toward me. This song is so extremely important because I had a moment with my daughter like this when I was pregnant with her. I can never sing this song without hysterically crying. I’ve heard this version so many times. I feel like you’ve given me the voice I painfully lose when I try singing this.
Thank you, Anna. Thank you so much. ❤️
I'm so sorry for you. But just know that you are an independent woman and you matter in this world
I know its been 4 years but I’m sending so much love your way. I hope you wake up today and remember you matter. Thank you for everything you’ve done ❤
My exfiance died from a heiroine overdose. This song brings a tear to my eye, because this song is her to a tee.
Hey! I know you posted this a year ago. But I hope you’re doing okay! Stay strong out there buddy! 💪
this made me tear up
something personal
i love you so much
dont forget
This song makes me cry. Listening to this, remembering my past, thinking to myself, "Yeah, you're right."
Wonderfully done.

As someone with depression, I can say I love this song and love to listen to it. I know the context of the song but some of the lyrics hit me differently. Like whenever I listen to this song I just think someone with depression is just singing to them happier selves and know they’re just getting stronger everyday they wake up even though they don’t feel strong.
I actually wrote a song like that, well, I wrote a parody, but it’s my version of this song, I haven’t been diagnosed with depression, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I do have it, so yeah, I don’t really know how to explain it, but I don’t really like being called by my name, Mallory, because I want Mallory to be remembered as the happy, innocent person that she was, not the sad, lonely, suicidal person I am
It's not simple to say
Most people have never met me
A smile and a laugh
It’s enough for no one to notice that
Mallory’s been dead for 4 years
People think they know
Mallory, but they’ve never met her
Although we’re so different
My family still doesn’t know, that we aren’t the same
I still remember that girl
The world was perfect, through her eyes
She was good, rarely lied
And she loved herself
She's not broken, no need for mental help
She was messy but she was kind
Never lonely, happy all the time
How I wish
We never had to say goodbye
She is gone but she used to be mine
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’d probably give it all back
For a chance to start over
And rewrite an ending or two
For the girl that I knew
Who was clueless just enough
Who got hurt but
Tried so hard to toughen up although she was bruised
And got used by the woman who killed her
And now I’m stuck and I’m scared
Of this life that’ll soon go to waste
‘Cause it gets harder each day
'Til it becomes too much
To fight just a little
At least I’ll see her, when I die
Too long she’s been gone but she used to be mine
Used to be mine
She was messy but she was kind
Never lonely, happy all the time
How I wish
We never had to say goodbye
She is gone but she used to be mine
Yeah. I get depressive episodes everyday and just a lot but the song She Used To Be Mine does hit me differently since I legit busted out crying and sobbing all over the place for like an hour. The song reminds me of my grandma who passed last year and I get depressed a lot and I think she's the reason why I'm sad and mad all the time cause I'm not over her. Like at all. I miss her and I wish she could come back...
I just finished a lovely comic by a very talented artist when this song came on. I was reading the dedication page and it made me cry my eyes out. Your voice is beautiful and captures emotions so well. I love your voice and passion. Keep being you!
IM CRYING RIGHT NOW AT SCHOOL AND PEOPLE ARE WORRIED BUT ITS JUST ME LISTENING TO THIS SONG

It has been a year since I have lost my friend, Donut, and she loved this musical. Now that she is gone this song has much more meaning, but your cover makes me think of her and all of the good memories. Thank you so much Anna❤️
The way I got CHILLS AT 2:52 like WOW the way you said mine so long makes me so emotional

IM CRYING GUYS
HER VOICE IS SO BEAUTIFUL
THOSE LONG NOTES MADE ME CRY
ANNA-SENPAI. THAT VOICE. NEVER STOP SINGING.
I've never seen the musical, and I legitimately thought that this was the original audio... This is beautiful ;^;
Putting aside the fact that her voice and the emotion she puts into her singing is breathtaking, truly, this is a beautiful song. I keep listening to it, and I keep checking to see if I can like it but I already have. It's just so perfect.
God dammit woman you literally just made my already fucking amazing day perfect with your beautiful disney princess voice (especially because i was literally thinking about going to see waitress soon)
This is superb, Anna. Really, I've always loved your voice, but this cover is just out of the world. The stylistic choices you made fit the song perfectly. Your technique seems overall healthier. I'm running out of words in English to describe this, so yeah, I just really loved it.
Use a dictionary and/or a thesaurus. Just saying...
Philip Hockenbury she did her best
Enyone else think this is kinda like bluestar

I like waitress but I absolutely adore it's music!! Do you think you can do a cover of "When he sees me" your voice would be perfect for it. Thank you for doing a cover of this song, I didn't know I needed this in my life ❤❤
Creative Spirit omg if she did when he sees me I would dieeeee
Annalise Scott I know right!! It is one of my personal favorite songs from Waitress 😄
Creative Spirit omg yes mine tooooo
AphLax Is Weird I just love the music in Waitress in general!!
Creative Spirit so trueee
So I'm actually in tears
Thanks
Thank you Anna, my cousin and I sang this song together just before Christmas last year. You gave us one last happy memory before she passed away in January. You have no idea how much this songs keep a her memory alive with me.
I am really sorry for your loss. I hope she is looking down at you from heaven, and letting you know that you will be ok even if she is far away
Whenever I hear this song I start to cry because my grandma died when I was 6 and I haven't been the same since. This songs reminds me so much of that and your cover of it is so emotionally powerful. You did an amazing job on this cover Anna. Keep doing what your doing! 🥰🥰
Anna you're literally my favorite TH-cam singer, your voice is so unique and amazing please never stop singing
I stubbed my toe and saw this in my recommended then proceeded to listen until I forgot all about the pain the wooden door caused me. I then got up and stubed the other toe against the same door. Darn you door T-T
I'd say: good job, but I can't walk into a room without forgetting why I came in.
im dying XD
Luck you I keep tripping over my feet while standing
Oof
Me: Ready for Defying Gravity
*Listens to this*
Me: What was I waiting for again? Oh well this flipping beautiful!!
and this youtuber is the reason my parents see me in my room just quietly crying, maybe while holding a book
I let my older sister listen to this while we were out driving. She literally cried. Your voice is so powerful.
ANNA CAN YOU SING PITIFUL CHILDREN FROM BE MORE CHILL CAUSE THEN MY LIFE WILL BE COMPLETE
It's to bad that no one else has thought of this yet!
OMG THAT WOULD BE THE BEST!
Gracie Forrest YASS I NEED IT
Yes.
OH MY! I feel so blessed!! This is absolutely favorite song, but my mom doesn't like the voice of the singer. She much prefers a voice like yours. I can finally show her this song!!
Amazing work as always!! (^ω^)
NoLyricsNeeded who do you refer as the singer? Sara Bareilles or Jessie Mueller? Because Sara's version is pure and wonderful
Izzy Rose ok but how does one not like Jessie's voice , her voice is like an angel
Lady Cakes I know right!! I love it so much, but my mother refuses to listen to it.
NoLyricsNeeded I don't know how anyone could you not like Sara's voice.
paddyd50 gamer BUT WHAT AVOUT JESSIE
WAITRESS YES I LOVED YOU BEFORE ANNA BUT NOW THERES WAITRESS
Aesthetically Pleasing EXACTLY OML
Please Disney release a bisexual Disney Princess voiced by Anna. A duet between two lovers. Theory for a story. A young woman is conflicted between loving her best friend and a Young Man she’s known for a few months. She denies her feelings and is conflicted between the two. Blasts out this ballad and the girl she loves harmonises at the very end. Disney hit. The end 🏰
I never knew I needed this till now
I would watch it
Elizabeth Mar-Venus That's not a very good idea.
@@normalperson659 why?
plot twist: they're poly
I still love this one, but god ya redo shows your growth. Hot damn you go girl!
okokok can we all just sit down and think. she added a tiny pause at the end of the song, let's talk about this itty bitty light of my life, she added this pause ( i presume) so that the piano can wow us with that music, and wow, they are great, but still, there is a tiny pause AFTER that, and that's why i"m typing a paragraph about a pause at the end of a video. that pause, just lets you sit there, realize how much you love her vocals, and the song itself, and the message and dadadada this is amazing, but it also gives you enough time to get back to the tab that is playing music and repeat the song but isn't soo long that you get annoyed if you don't want to listen to it again. ( which I have no idea why you wouldn't but that's another talk) and can we all just thank her for this? if i can stop in the middle of an animatic to inform this comment section, you can stop for two seconds and like this video, leave a nice comment, and share with a friend, family member, whoever, this my friends, is true kindness.
thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you take the time to leave your own comment.
sincerely,
Syotie
i agree and you made me like and share. i always want to but i dont. this time.... this time i did it.
BEAUTIFUL!!
Meh Space Dorito I SEE U EVERYWHERE
Hello community meme it is your fellow friend trash can/nugget on my cousins phone 0v0
Okay, as much as I love Wicked, SCREW DEFYING GRAVITY!!!
Don't get me wrong, Defying Gravity is amazing, but I am very aware of how hard the song is. You did an absolutely FABULOUS job with this song, Anna, and I literally almost cried from the beautiful combination of this song and your voice
Before I start rambling on, Anna, thank you so much for covering this song. Even if it wasn't for me, the heart you pour into your covers shows so much emotion behind it that there's no doubt in my mind you could be a professional singer if you tried, but we're happy to have you here on TH-cam.
As for why I'm so happy you covered this, when I sing this song I'm immediately reminded of a close friend of mine, Taryn, who I've been trying to make happy for about ten years now. She and I were inseperable nine years ago, when we would tell each other literally everything about our lives. Our dreams, our passions. We would cry on each other's shoulders when we were hurt and cheer for each other in whatever we did.
We first met in a group of friends called the "Guardanian Wolf Pack" before she was forcefully removed by my life by someone who's name I to this day do not know, but we call him Fox Face. Despite my warnings, she got into a relationship with this person and to keep her, he proceeded to tear apart the friendships I had come to enjoy, turning every single person in our group against one another to ensure he would not have any competition.
He forcefully separated me and Taryn, and she ended up marrying him for all of a year while he forced her to break her lines of contact with me. They were together for a good year to my knowledge before they broke up and she moved away, and a few years later she managed to get back in contact with me. However, she was changed quite a bit by him, and is no longer nearly as close a friend with me as she used to be. Though she now has a rather large group of friends and a fiance', I cannot help but wish for the days when she and and I were best friends, when I wished I could stomach the courage to ask her out and try my damndest to make her happy.
This song reminds me of the girl I fell in love with, even if she's gone from my life now. It reminds me of the friend I had before she was torn from my life, and no matter what I do or say, I'll never be able to change her mind on the man she is with now. I hope by listening to this song, specifically your cover of it and many others, that I will finally be able to have closure and move on. Thank you so much, Anna! Never stop singing, and I hope one day I can sing a duet with you!
stoneheart as i read ur comment it reminded me of my mom. When she was with my dad he would physically and mentally hurt her and she was forced into the marriage by her parents and since she left him she developed depression and her parents hate her. She now has a new husband but i will never forget those times whne she told me about teh past with my father with tears down her face. Ever since her relationship with my dad she has never been the same. He made her cut all contact with all of her friends and wanted her all to himself. He was abusive and was a drugatic and alcoholic. I’m glad she left him but sometimes i wonder taht if she didn’t would my life be better.
2:49 DO I HEAR A HINT OF CRYING JESUS THE WATERFALL HAS STARTED😭😭😭😭
Omg I no joke have been listening to this song none stop for the last month. Now I get to hear your amazing voice sing it and be more obsessed 💕💕
Isa no joke just looked it up and I almost passed out seeing that the music was made from one of my favorite singers Sara Bareilles because I LOVE her music and voice but compared to Anna she stands not much of a chance
Im sorry no im never going to return. Im not a toy ive had enough.
I am fine alone
*Literally after this song*
Me: I need a new heart I think mine broke
Mom: what why? Did something happen?
Me: *shows mom song*
Mom: *sniffles* I think I need a new heart too sweetie
Awie :')
My Mom would be like : Why is a girl singing this? Is shee GAY? *angry voice*
I'm so done lolol why would you be angry? Being gay isn't bad
*inhale*
*exhale* thatsnotwhattheymeantbutk
Kai07 Wait.... FOR REALS?! 😮 I need to go check out this musical ASAP! 😲
Awesome as usual Anna!! I literally almost started crying.
Shadow Phoenix15 I did
holy shit your voice is so pretty and strong
my heart like skipped beats listening to it
two years, and this song still manages to make me tear up. This song's meaning hits home for me, its awe inspiring and beautiful, your voice completes it.
This actually brought tears to my eyes and that has never happend before! I can feel the emotion in you're voice as you sing its pretty amazing. So just wanted to say i think youre awesome Anna :)
Her voice gives me chills, the amount of talent she has is unbelievable and the way her voice makes people feel her emotions while singing is so powerful! Keep doing what you're doing because it's really amzing❤💖
This song is hard-
Anna: *hold my drink*
I'm rewatching this again, and even if the original makes me sad, your cover makes me tear up a little.
Whoever gave this cover a dislike needs help, Anna your cover of this was beautiful and I admire how much emotion put into it. I bet this took alot of practice and you inspire me to be the best person I can so thank you!
Btw I am perfectly aware that I'm a year late but still what can say
I wanted to play a song for my rehearsal, this is perfect thank you. I never could afford singing lessons but I feel I get better every time I sing along with you thank you anna for everything. You have no idea what your channels done for me!
I’m not sure how to put into words how this cover has me feeling. You sung the first three lines and I stared balling. It ended and I was still heaving. I walked around my room, sat down, cried, and hugged myself. I breathed, and watched a show I like that no one I care about likes, but I like it. I got happy and cried again. It’s been less than 30 minutes and I feel like I’ve felt every feeling I’ve ever felt. It’s refreshing coming from someone who has trouble opening up even to themselves. Thanks.
I love the fact you can hear how she's singing this song and that it hits deep in her feels. She's not worried about sounding perfect it's all genuine and absolutely beautiful to listen to. Love hearing you sing Queen 👸
This is one of five songs of Anna that helps me fall asleep every night.
On a lucky night, if no ads get played between songs, I'll suddenly realize after the fourth repeat I've fallen asleep already.
I have listened to this song all my life, and I'm sure it helps a lot of people cope with the people they've lost
I saw this musical the night before I found this. This scene was emotional, raw and pushed the limits of voice control. What a vocal range! I'm actually crying.
ANNA STOP FOLLOWING ME!!!
I listen to heathers and the she releases a cover to fight for me.
I listen to Hamilton for hours then boom congratulations!
Now... now it's waitress!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
SAME
I know right!
SamEe
SAME! Jfc XDDD
omg same, hamilton is amazing
I actually kinda cried while listening to this. Your voice is so touching and beautiful. Your amazing.
Me: okokok you’re not going to cry-
Anna: *starts singing*
Me, already sobbing: nIcE
Probably the best cover of this song till now
BREATHTAKING!! This was the first video that I heard you I think, and honestly, it's absolutely beautiful. You put so much emotion into this piece, and honestly, I almost cried. Though hard to understand lyrics, I can hear the broken-hearted tone in your voice getting more and more amazingly tear jerking. Amazing, just stunning 💓
you put so much feeling to these covers, im overwhelmed
DEFYING GRAVITY IS HARD AF, BUT THIS IS JUST AS BEAUTIFUL OKAY!~~~ ^-^ THANKKK YOUUUU
I've been waiting so long for this ;_; thank you, Anna, for blessing me
I was having an EXTREMELY OVERWHELMING EMOTIONAL nostolgia trip and ranting about saying goodbye to my younger self. Listening to this song helped me calm down while still processing all my emotions. Thank you for existing and sharing your voice with the world. You're an inspiration.
This song reminds me so much of my best friend who was practically my sister. I didn’t know a life without her until 3 years ago when cancer took her life. I miss her so much but knowing that Anna covered this song and made it so beautiful is helping me so much with coping with her death. So thank you Anna, so much.
I keep coming back to this one, each time I feel exactly the way I felt when I heard it for the first time ❤
I cried like a baby you have the most wonderful voice I've ever heard
this is my favorite among her covers..her voice shows so much emotion when put into this song >< im inlove
I’ve been studying this song for a year and singing it. There are so many ways people can sing it. Mine’s more raw because I’m mostly just an actress and singer. But yours is so polished. It’s really refreshing to hear.
I’m doing this song for The Voice in January and this is incredibly inspiring. Thank you so much!
OMG IM SEEING WAITRESS THIS YEAR! I'm gonna see Something Rotten, Lame is, Waitress, Mean Girls, and Hamilton(for a second time).
LUCKYYYYY
sunnyvee music IKR? My mom knows I'm a lunatic about Hamilton and it's all I ever think about, so she got the pack so it wasn't as expensive, also getting amazing musicals.
I'm glad you're seeing all of these. In the time you are, can I borrow your private yacht?
I hope you don't mind me hiding in your bag
I need to actually see Les Mis, but I swear I will catch up to you!
This has got to be one of the best covers I've heard from you
