It's not simple to say, Most days I don't recognize me. These shoes and this apron, This place and it's patrons Have taken more than I gave them. It's not easy to know I'm not anything that I used to be. Although it's true, I was never attention 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 but 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 back door Carves out the person And makes you believe it's so 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 be reckless just enough Who 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 it used to be mine. Used to be mine She is messy but she's kind She is lonely most of time She is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie She is gone but she used to be mine.
Where did you get this from? I was at the concert in Charlotte that this is from. I wish I could get all of it. I did find a number of the songs she did, but I wish I could get them all.
This is so pure & so brilliant, Sara B, at her very best, give her a piano, some cords a mic with a live audience & she is the greatest story teller you will ever know !!! Love her whole journey, that voice, those intros, every song, each performance, blessed with a voice that just lifts & soars in both strength & tenderness, So Good, so Amazing....
If I could just see her live.. I would cry. Sara Bareilles saved my life... I wish she come's back to NYC cause I wanna see her so so so so bad. I never get tired of hearing her beautiful, soothing ,high , and crystal voice. Am I the only one that is sobbing like a freakin baby because of her and this song? I LOVE YOU SARA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Grihe oe I saw her in London live. Was so upset when I found out tickets were sold out, then managed to get one off another person on the internet who had a spare ticket. So happy. I got right to the front. Dream come true.
This song is absolutely beautiful...I was there at this show and her performance was breathtaking. Couldn't help but cry and admire the wonderful work she has put into her music
Perfection!
What a brilliant song. Strong lyrics, perfectly written with such melancholy. I’m sure it resonates on many people, me included. Bravo!
Sara is everything that's right with music.
Nicolina has the voice of an angel..and she sings and performs like no other..
Saw this song on American idol. Beautiful, sad and tragic. So true for many women, me included.
One of the best storrytellings. Emotional. Beautiful song and its author/singer.
Every time I listen to this song I get goosebumps. Never fails.
This may be the greatest song ever written.
wow.......
Perfect.

Just thank you

+Amjad Raja Well said!
Where was this performance?
I'm going to hazard a guess--Sitting at a piano? ; - )
Saras voice + Piano strings = Heart touching. Her voice and that deep piano just sends chills all over me... so BEAUTIFUL!
