Lauren Spencer Smith - Used To Be Mine (Live) lyrics
[Lauren Spencer Smith - Used To Be Mine Live 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 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 used to be mine
It's not what I asked for sometimes life
Just slips in through a backdoor
And carves out a person
That 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 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
And 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
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 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 used to be mine
It's not what I asked for sometimes life
Just slips in through a backdoor
And carves out a person
That 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 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
And 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
