When Words Fail...Music Speaks...

Lyrics from Sara Bareilles' "She Used to be Mine"  spoke to my heart today!

"It's not simple to say, Most days I don't recognize me

With these shoes and this apron, That place and it's patrons

Have taken more than I've gave them, It's not easy to know

I'm not anything like I used be, Although it's true

I was never attention sweet center, But 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

And it's not what I asked for, Sometimes life just slips in through a backdoor

Carves out the 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

Would 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 the time

She is all of this, mixed up, and baked in a beautiful pie

She is gone, but she used to be mine "                            ~Sara Bareilles
