Alba Reche - She Used To Be Mine lyrics

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 be
Although it's true
I was never attention's sweet center
I still remember that girl

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

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
