It's not simple to say And you're not what I asked for

Most days I don't recognize me If I'm honest I know I would give it all back

These shoes and this apron For a chance to start over

That place and its patrons And rewrite an ending or two

Have taken more than I gave 'em For the girl that I knew

It's not easy to know Who be reckless just enough

I'm not anything like I used to be Who can hurt but

Although it's true Who learns how to toughen up when she's

I was never attention sweet center bruised

I still remember that girl And gets used by a man who can't love

She's imperfect but she tries And then she'll get stuck and be scared

She is good but she lies Of the life that's inside her

She is hard on herself Growing stronger each day

She is broken and won't ask for help 'Til it finally reminds her

She is messy but she's kind To fight just a little

She is lonely most of the time To bring back the fire in her eyes

She is all of this mixed up That's been gone but it used to be mine

And baked in a beautiful pie Used to be mine

She is gone but she used to be mine She is messy but she's kind

It's not what I asked for She is lonely most of the time

Sometimes life just slips in through a back door She is all of this mixed up and baked in a

And carves out a person beautiful pie

And makes you believe it's all true She is gone but she used to be mine

And now I've got you
