    Lyrics:
    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

    In 1967 I was 8 years old. My stepdad began molesting me. That’s when my spirit died and I became someone other than I was supposed to be. I became an alcoholic around age 17. My life was so full of chaos, struggles and losing things forever.
    I’m now 62 and I’ve been sober for over 11 years. I have two beautiful children who help guide me. I know who I am today. I’m a very strong woman today. My life’s journey made me that way.
    This song is so relatable and I’m OK.
    My faith in God saved my life a very long time ago. That little girl has stopped crying. I now love that little girl. I see her every time I look in the mirror and I’m proud of who I’ve become 🙏♥️.

    Don’t give up on me, please. We’ve been through a lot and I know we’ll get through this storm again. I know it’s so hard and it’s messed up right now, but please, forgive yourself. Let them go. It’s never too late to start over. I love you. I love you so much! We can do this. We’ll be free and happy. Genuinely. Soon! ♡

    My daughter sang this tonight for her recital at school. She's been battling an eating disorder for the last year and a half and finally confessed to us a little over a month ago. Needless to say, this song made me cry during her singing. So many parts of the lyrics speak to her and it breaks my heart that she's suffered for so long alone and didn't trust me enough to share with me this disorder. I long for the day she finds herself again and can live a healthy life and see just how beautiful and precious she is. If she could see herself through my eyes, she would never doubt her self worth. To all of those girls and boys who doubt yourself and struggle, to someone in this world, you are the best thing that happened to them and if you could see yourself in their eyes you would know your worthy. May God Bless your paths.

      Youre such a great parent, as a girl who has lived an eating disorder without her parent's support and Who feels that this song talks about her, i only can say you thank you for trying to give help. It is a Hard way, and maybe there is more than the ed, probably lots of hidden fears, dudes or Hurt in your daughter's life, but i'm sure that you can overcome all the obstáculos. Don't feel like a bad parent, i am sure that you Will find the way of help her, with lots of love, time, talk and hugs. Best of my wishes, you can go out from the ed.
      Hugs

      When I graduated high school I weighed only 93lbs. At my lowest I hovered around 87lbs. In 1987 when my mom finally found out, after going to our blessed Dr. Miron, called All my friends AND my teachers. They were instructed to watch me like a hawk. My friends made sure I ate lunch and then made sure before the next class that I did not throw it up.
      That's kinda how they treated it back then. If you would just eat.
      I was suffering from such crippling depression. That's why I wasn't eating. Mine was not a body dismorphic thing. Only went for help when I was in my early 30s. Been getting therapy for 20 years. And Every time I get really, really down I stop eating. In March I ended up in a psych ward for a week. And I needed to be there. Been hospitalized years before as well. I pray for your precious daughter as well. Sounds like you're a vigilant and loving mom. I lost mine only 2 months after od ing on one of my meds. I wish, wish I hadn't done that and put her through that. Lost my boyfriend only 2 weeks after losing my wonderful amazing mom. Looking back I'm not sure how I survived. Or how I continue to. Mom was only 56. I am now 54(!) And I still struggle. I get help and try to talk. But when I'm in it...every bite is a struggle.
      Your daughter, I think, with you by her side will prevail. Don't EVER give up on her! You may not fully understand why she does what she does but just be there. Like my mom keep on her, keep telling her you're there and that you love her. NO MATTER WHAT. She'll hear you, she will. Prayers for you both. Keep fighting!

    My daughter committed suicide this time last December and I only found this song by chance last week not knowing anything about the musical.
    Lots of the lyrics are so appropriate and describe how she found herself in her journey through life which we as a family didn't know about.
    Those closest to her, her children, partner, ex partner eventually broke her spiritually, emotionally, financially to the point where she presumably saw no other way out to end the pain she was hiding and suffering.
    We miss her deeply and Christmas for us will never be the same again.
    Time doesn't heal the mental torment such events befall on families, if she had only cried out for help but alas this was not to be and life goes on within you and without you.
    I hope I get the chance to see the musical some day but time's running out for me as well at 70+ but at least I now have this wonderful song in my life.
    To avoid any confusion as seems to be the case with some of the very kind responses I have received, this comes from her father and not her mother.

    It's not simple to say
    Most days I don't recognize me
    These shoes and this apron
    That place and its patrons
    Have taken more than I gave 'em
    It's not easy to know
    I'm not anything like 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 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 be reckless just enough
    Who can 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 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 had a classmate named Sofiya. Once I was yelled at by my teacher and classmates and had an anxiety attack. I was about to cry but she hugged me, a hug that I still feel up to now, it was the most comforting hug ive ever felt. I have never thought of dying, it has always occured to me that I will reach my dreams first before I even die. It was Sunday, I was so happy being able to go to a trip with my class. I went to my best friends house, she showed me the picture my classmates were uploading saying may she rest in peace. I genuinely thought it was a joke, I got angry bc its not something to joke about. I still can't believe it until we went outside. My teacher came up to us with a soft voice, like she was afraid we might break. I still remember the burst of emotions I had I want to stop crying because I don't want to believe it, but I can't. My body felt heavy once the cold air of the venue creeped through my skin. Her name. Her name was there in the chapel. We went up. I saw her picture, I covered my mouth and plugged my earphones, I can't cry, I have no right to cry, this is her family's mourning moments I shouldn't ruin it. It took a while to muster up the courage to see her lying there, lifeless. She's so pale. Her left face is almost destroyed. It was a car crash. But she still looks like an angel. It strucked me. How life is short. How lucky I am to be alive. How much pain I'm feeling. How she affected me even if we're not close friends. Sofiya, you really do shine brightly.

      The music industry didn't want her because she writes her own music, probably produces some of it and can perform it like a pro. Because of these things the music industry would have to share profit with her and they do not want that. They want disposable talent that won't claim any ownership rights to the music and therefore can't profit from it in perpetuity. This is why you see the people you see in the music industry today. It is also why the WGA and SAG are on strike for their rights at this moment. Please support them unless you want to see tv and what is left of movies get even worse.

      I know where you're coming from but, as others say, her music's target audience isn't everyone. And I don't think she really wants to much exposure, sure lots more people should listen to her. She is so inspiring and helps me through life but her music can get sad, most people don't understand music like that and I guess it scares them. They don't know what the singer is talking about, they can't relate and so they ignore the music and listen to the trash on the radio about people's overconfident views on themselves. I do hope she gets more appreciation, though.

    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 am male, 38, and so very not pregnant. And this song resonates with me in ways not a lot of music does. I found it on tiktok by chance (thought the melody was haunting), but then I listened to the full song one day driving to work. Every word hit so hard I started to cry. I really do think there are many, many ways people can listen to this and find meaning for their own lives. It makes me long for the person I was, for the chances (and people) I lost, but it also makes me want to keep going and fight just a little. Its an amazing, amazing song.

This song, along with Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle will always make me understand the happy cries and sparkling memories of a little girl kept inside a beautiful woman. It’s funny you know, b cause inside us mere males too, still lives that little boy with similar memories of having lived in glorious times. No matter what gave us strength and wisdoms - parents, siblings and friends alike - we gracefully draw on all of it every time a mesmeric melody is left in our hearts. Kindest wishes and many memories of that little girl again and again :)

      Dear Kristene, please don’t give up on life. We all feel lonely sometimes but loneliness is all-consuming and dampens any brightness, but life isn’t just loneliness. I hope you find the beautiful parts in this massive world, even if it’s the small things, a butterfly in summer, the feeling of warm sun on your back as a cool breeze glides by, drinking a hot tea on a snowy day underneath a pile of blankets. Life is difficult and stressful and draining at times but those moments make the beauty in this world that much sweeter. I truly hope you get the chance to experience those little pleasures (a good start could be baking a fresh batch of cookies, letting the smell of vanilla fill your surroundings). It’s taken me a while and I still dip every so often but I appreciate life so much more now that it is in colour again, rather than when it was great and unforgiving. Please listen to yourself and give life another try - even if you falter keep trying. I believe you can do it because you already promised yourself that you would try. (Feel free to message me if you want a cookie recipe or chat). X

If it were another one of my favorite artists releasing her album almost at the same time as Adele, I'd be freaking out, but with Sara I really don't mind because I know she's not looking for fame, she just wants to sing and be heard, and I definetly want to listen. I will enjoy her music all the same even if she's not breaking VeVo records.

    But she’s happy, no matter how many times people throw shit at her, she’s smiling, she’s so innocent, she’s beautiful, so beautiful.

    The line "It's not easy to know that I'm not anything like I used to be" hurts so much. It's like you know your full potential, and how you perform when you're really passionate on what you're doing, because that's how you were a few years ago. But now, you're just lost. Man, growing up sucks but we have no choice but to move forward.

    Lyrics
    She Used To Be Mine
    It's not simple to say
    Most days I don't recognize me
    These shoes and this apron
    That place and its patrons
    Have taken more than I gave 'em
    It's not easy to know
    I'm not anything like 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 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 be reckless just enough
    Who can 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 the time
    She is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie
    She is gone but she used to be mine

As I read through it I realised no one ever said these words to me, my life isn't exactly messed up but it's been hard because I feel like I have been pretending to be someone I'm not supposed to be, but now it's too late to start over. As I keep failing, everyone who was by my side, they are now blaming me. It's been two years and no one ever cared to ask me if I need help or if I'm fine... I never knew I was this desperate to hear something this simple...

      Been on a 4-year journey through depression. I can tell you now that I'm closer to the other side of it, that you do get parts of your old self back - it's not gone forever. You learn to be happy again. Some of the old you gets mixed in with some of the new, and you become a different, but good, new version of you. Sending love to you on your journey.

    I've heard thing song a few times over the years, but the meaning has not truly hit me until today. I don't recognize myself anymore, I can barely get through things I used to consider to be easy in daily life. But the signs have been here over the last decade, and they've gotten worse since 2019. I wish I could just go back and do it all differently, enjoy life and things of sorts. I think I'm starting to fight back, so maybe one day I'll look in the mirror and recognize myself.

    When she hits that note on "hard" on the line "she is hard on herself" absolutely sends me.

    Sara bareilles is the most honest song writer that I've heard this generation. He music isn't like all the others, it's deep and emotional.

    I think every women feels this way at some point in her life. What a tragic song. It's good to hear to remember where you've come from and return to the woman who is free.

    I just found this song, as my girlfriend and I just ended our relationship. She was my first real love, and every guy has to go through that pain at least once. This song represents everything I feel. She is all of those things baked a beautiful pie, and I don’t ever want her to be hurt by a man who can’t love, I just want her to be happy and safe and free from all harm and pain. She used to be mine, and I’ll always love her.

      Do you know "And So It Goes" by Bily Joel? Perhaps it's worth listening to?

    I was raped my junior year of college. That fun-loving spirit died that day. I still remained optimistic about life but in the past 13 years, I've just had one misfortune after another. Deaths in the family. Horrible relationships. This song speaks to me in ways I never knew. I've heard it before but it didn't resonate with me until now. Internally I'm dead.. just waiting for my exterior to catch up.
