I have been suffering from depression for all 18 years of my life and this song gives me hope that I can change for the better and over come my depression but I can't do it alone
the shyest girl at school sang this and she has the most beautiful voice i've ever heard. I listened to the lyrics carefully and cried in front of everyone 😅 edit: this is me 4 years later ! It's crazy to see how much happened after that and how much I've changed (I was being bullied at the time when I posted this, but I'd go through it again any day. it's not as bad as other things that have left me with trauma afterward) i wish i could go back and tell that little girl to ignore everyone and try to be happy while she can. there were bigger things coming for her and she was gonna need all the strength she could get. thanks for the love everyone, i hope we can all stay strong
"She is broken and won't ask for help"! I've listened to this song and cried so much. Who else listened to this song in 2020? Blessings from the Netherlands to you all.
I am... I'm not emotional with songs but this one is so much like me that I thought it was literally talking about me when I heard it. I did have a dramatic break down >///
Oh the feels are strong with this one. Thank you, Sara, for the tears (uncontrollable sobs), and reminding us all that we are perfectly imperfect, and it is never too late to live the life you deserve.
This song makes me want to save myself. Everytime I hear it, take the lyrics apart, I can relate to every word and that scares me. But I absolutely love this; I've never heard a song capture all of me so well.
Madellina Rose I wasn’t you too know that you can’t get through anything because your beautiful inside and out no one can break you harder than you can yourself. I don’t know you but I love you for who you are.
Madellina Rose, I know this is three years since you posted that, but I understand. Just know that you are very special and made for a purpose. Never lose hope
I definitely see myself in this song. I would consider myself a very happy person but I definitely lost a lot of my "spark". I've been taking care of my ill parents straight out of high school - 10 years ago. There's so much I want to do in terms of jobs, college, hobbies, etc. and It has held me back from so much... taking care of them as well as a lot of money issues. I use to be a very different person than the person I am now and I feel like a lot of my hope, drive, ambition is gone and Im just stuck.
Thanks for your post. I can relate; I'm a long-time caregiver, too. I happened to hear this song on the radio tonight and just had to know the lyrics- they definitely struck a chord. Sara bareilles never fails to capture life and all its challenges with such eloquence. Stay strong, girl!
+Melissa2087 Maybe you just feel overwhelmed and exhausted by now since you have been through a lot. Maybe you would have succeded beautifully in a career or some high degree but nevertheless don't you ever think that by careing after your parents you lost time. The care and attention you give to other people is never a wasted thing. Some say that relationships are the most important things in this life...
Sometimes we think that having a good life is enough to make us happy ,a nice house, money, car and good job ,all things thats here on earth that satisfied us being human.dont fill you stock in your situation now, be blessed because your taking care of you parents cheer up, not All people have the time and opportunity like the things your doing, i know big blessing will come because you choose to take care of your parents. God bless
I actually had the privilege of seeing the show last month and let me tell you; it was amazing. When this song was performed, the whole theatre (including myself) was sobbing! This show and song is beautiful!
funandlala yea I often do, just i know people who find it annoying when you say "this is me" but the pronouns don't match. But even so this is just my life rn
The only reason it's about a girl is because she's talking about herself so it would make perfect sense for a boy to say he. Or whatever pronoun you prefer
My best friend said he cried when he heard this because it reminds him of me. Obviously I am not a girl, but I cried when I heard it. It really hits home.
I'm a guy but I can relate to this song. The first time I heard it, I nearly cried. I've been through depression, and this song really touched me--it touched me more than every song I've ever heard. Sara Bareilles is one of the best songwriters ever.
This song has such beauty and story! When i first heard it I was sitting in a car listening to the radio and it gave me shivers. I'm looking forward to this video blowing up because people heard it off the radio! Hello music lovers! :D
I see so much of me in this song. I’m in a terrible relationship and now I’m really stuck because I got pregnant. I always hear the “she is scared of the life that’s inside her getting stronger each day” and think of the life growing in me as that life that reminded me to fight for myself. For her. So she won’t want to go back to her old self.
How I interpreted the song is that the singer is talking about her past self that she lost but misses dearly and wants back. She would give anything to start again. I also believe this because she knows so much about this 'she' that wouldn't appear obvious from the outside. Maybe this is true, maybe I'm just looking way too hard into this, I don't know, but this is how I saw the song
DaSeaGoat 16 this song makes me cry because my mother always worried about me, so i associated the singer with my mother and the "she" with myself. JUST WRITING THIS IM IN TEARS
It's amazing how many people feel just like I do. Yet the people close to me, can't hear my cry for help. They can't understand why or how I feel this way.
This is me completely. I have been told that this song is me. I have struggled with depression, Autism, and life at times. I'm slowly doing better but I still struggle. Listening to this song reminds me that I have come a long way, but I still have farther to go.
I got married against my will even though I fought against my entire life. Now I'm stuck here forever and I have to pretend I'm happy. So yeah this song reminds me of myself.... Of the girl I used to be. Of the girl I could have been..
this song reminds me of myself in the past. I am a proud Trans boy and the "she" fits for who I used to be, and I wish that when I was smaller I would've known how happy the people around me would make me and that it is okay to be what you want to be. She was a very shy girl. I wish I could tell her what she had ahead of her.
"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 up in a beautiful pie. She is gone but she used to be mine." This chorus hits really close to home because all my life I have been trying to be perfect so that others might finally notice me. I try my best to be the best person I can be but I lie on a day to day basis. I left about my feelings and how I really and what I truly want because I'm afraid people will judge me. I'm hard on myself a lot. A day doesn't go by where I hate myself for everything I do. I am very broken but I'm afraid to ask for help. Whenever I do, my friends either pity me like I'm a lost puppy, tell me to grow up, or just say "SAME". They don't ever try to take the time to actually understand how I feel. I am a mess but I try to be kind. I am lonely because I have no one that understands. I'm all of this mixed up and this is just who I am. I used to be someone better. Someone happier and I wonder if I'll ever become that happy again.
My aunt just died yesterday and this song just take to a master feeling in me towards my family...she is brilliant, thank you sarah and see you later aunty
This song just reminds me of my late aunt and it hurts, but it's the first time I haven't cried while listening to it since she passed. I'm proud of myself right now
A girl at my school was singing this song and she sang so beautifully and with so much emotion it took all of my power not to start crying right there during the song
I can relate to this. I really can, but that's not what makes me emotional. It's that it reminds me more of my mom. My mom left when I was young and married men and women since. I stay with my father. She doesn't have a good job and many people see her as imperfect and sometimes, I do too. There is so much going on with her and this songs just brings me back to her. I first heard this when someone in my theatre group performed it as a solo. It brought me to tears halfway through. If you're still reading and relate to this then I just want to say, you are beautiful and perfect and great and you should always remember that. Go find who used to be and be that again. It may seem difficult but trust me. It'll work out. Or stay as you are now. Learn to accept that. You'll learn to love who you are because you are great.
Mirzi Fuentes Hello. This is also where I am as well. In my 50's, and life went so fast, and some where along the way, I lost the fire in my eyes. Fighting on my knees .......
This song never gets old it's so encouraging and inspiring still a little sad but I think everyone who has ever heard this song can relate to this beautiful masterpiece and I love her work and I think she is stunning and this song was amazing.😁😙👏 and everytime I listen to this song I just think wow
This song is a reminder of who I really am. I have never related to a song as greatly as I have this one. I dont feel as alone even tho I am so very alone. It shows the thoughts that don't stop in my head, that I'm not the only one who feels this way. Thank you Sara❤
What an incredible song. I really feel touched on a very melancholic personal note that makes me not want to share it as its so sad and precious but i still will.
I just found this song by chance. I just wrote in my journal how it's hard to believe the girl in old pictures of me and I are the same person. I feel such a disconnect. How did I become so broken? This song just really speaks to me.
FlawlessSelMarie I’m 13 and I can totally relate. I’ve had some amazing amazing moments with my family but some of the hardest like losing my sister and my uncle and friends turning on me and just my dad going through cancer it’s been rough on me. I just wish I could be that little girl again who thought life was a fairytale I would just love that for a day I miss it so much where you think you are invincible I just think I’m growing up too quickly I’m not dating people nor have I ever been but mentally I’m just growing up too soon I hate it.
I'm 18 and still live at home and this song describes me so much. It always makes me cry because I have nothing left that I think is good about me. My aunt who I live with has taken all of that away. I don't think anything about me is good or right. And it hurts so much. It hurts knowing that I have nothing left and she managed to break me like this and I might not be able to recover.
A friend sung this to me, at first i'm not interested but the moment i listen the lyrics i was moved and crying on my bended knees. It really stuck me while it remind not to give up and continue to pursue what i really want in life. Thank you host for sharing it with us.
I feel like this song was written for me. My husband had an affair this past year and it's made me feel like I dont know who I am anymore and I have been changing everyday go fit this mold. But this song makes me feel better when I hear it. Thank you Sara! You make amazing music
I was brought here by just browsing through random UA-cam videos and I'm so happy that I clicked on this song. Like many people here I relate to this due to the fact that I've made so many mistakes and from that I lost who I really was and there isn't a day that goes by where I wish I could back and fix all that I've done to make things right with myself and others. I'm in tears at this point to where I can't stop listening to it so I can feel something that I haven't felt in a very long time.
Tears of joy, we are all inperfect girls , we will try but we will make mistakes. Sara Bareilles you inspired me and my mom. We won't always fit in, Thank you.😊
I never cried so much, tears of joy. I love this song so much and it gives me memories. Tirhank you for telling me that I am not I perfect girl I will try to be perfect but I will make mistake, you inspired me.
iv listened to this 15 since yesterday and I'm just commenting now...i related so much to this song I'm going through a really hard time right now.....im 14 ......divorce, I'm a perfectionist with grades, I'm easily stressed out......i just want you guys to know it gets better.
“And you’re not what i asked for, if im honest i know i would give it all back for a chance to start over, to rewrite an ending or two for the girl that i knew” - personally i interpret this part of the song in a way where im talking about myself. how i didnt ask for the person i am now and i would take any chance to give her back and rewrite an ending for myself. to me these are the strongest lyrics in the song
I often get down and don't know what else to do or who else to talk to because i am a big people pleaser, so asking for help is not something that I do on a regular basis. Every time I start to feel this way I listen to then song on repeat and remember that I don't have to be perfect. I'm not the girl used to be. I'm not that happy cheerful little girl who can find the good in everything. I've changed. I've toughened up after getting bruised. I'm imperfect, bu I still try my best which is the best thing that I can. I am hard on myself and very broken, but can't find the courage to ask for help, and because of this I am often lonely, but it's all wrapped up together and that's what makes me, me. That's what gives me my character and I am very thankful for the things that I have been through to get me to this place and I am very happy with where I am in life because despite all the imperfections, I am still perfectly beautiful.
I honestly love this song. It has so much meaning, It's incredible how this song pulls on those strings. I want to sing this song for an addition at my school, but midway through the song I start to cry 😔
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
This comment section is so supportive!! This restores my faith in humanity... Thanks for all being so supportive of each other. Keep being amazing! 💓💗💖
Guys if you relate to this just know you are perfect and beautiful the way you are. I ain't perfect myself I don't like myself but you guys, if you believe and be proud of yourself, Keep your head up and it people judge you just think that there words don't matter You don't have to change a thing the world can change it's heart ❤💛💚💙💜
I like the part 'She is gone but she used to be mine'.. it's like she changed bacause of the pain that she felt. The song is very beautiful and the message as well.
I have been suffering from depression for all 18 years of my life and this song gives me hope that I can change for the better and over come my depression but I can't do it alone
You can do it! :)
stay strong🙆
You can do it. Stay strong
Nick Hamilton stay strong it gets better I have also suffered from depression
Thank you all for the support here I am almost a year later never been happier in my life
Found this song to hit home.. and I am learning to love myself for who I am.. love when music speaks to my heart
I'm proud of you
😁
the shyest girl at school sang this and she has the most beautiful voice i've ever heard. I listened to the lyrics carefully and cried in front of everyone 😅

Sara Bareilles is an amazingly talented young singer and songwriter. This song is just one of her best -- there are too many to choose only one!
Definitely hit a nerve. Anyone else crying?

Oh the feels are strong with this one. Thank you, Sara, for the tears (uncontrollable sobs), and reminding us all that we are perfectly imperfect, and it is never too late to live the life you deserve.
This song makes me want to save myself. Everytime I hear it, take the lyrics apart, I can relate to every word and that scares me. But I absolutely love this; I've never heard a song capture all of me so well.

This song is one of the special few that touches everyone within. Its okay. Cry. We wont judge.
I know this is about a girl and what not...but even as a guy...this is me...so clearly I can just picture it all
BrownieJ126 It's alright to switch the pronouns my love.
funandlala yea I often do, just i know people who find it annoying when you say "this is me" but the pronouns don't match. But even so this is just my life rn

I see so much of me in this song. I’m in a terrible relationship and now I’m really stuck because I got pregnant. I always hear the “she is scared of the life that’s inside her getting stronger each day” and think of the life growing in me as that life that reminded me to fight for myself. For her. So she won’t want to go back to her old self.
A lot of emotional and mental issues here....but I'm trying to love myself for who I am. This song speaks to my heart.
Nice avatar :D
Laura Bartlett pearl ♡
I hope you're doing well ❤
Tip: Don't listen to this song when you're already breaking. You will end up shattered.
Welp i wished i looked at this before i listened to the whole song 5 times
I've been shattered for a while, I'm only just starting to put the pieces back together :3
oops
IF YOU PEEPS KEEP SAYING OPPS, TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG. YOU PEEPS ARE GOING TO MAKE ME WORRY AND STRESS ABOUT IT ALL DAY!
Wish I'd read this message, BEFORE I found this song last night........ broken, just broken now...
How I interpreted the song is that the singer is talking about her past self that she lost but misses dearly and wants back. She would give anything to start again. I also believe this because she knows so much about this 'she' that wouldn't appear obvious from the outside. Maybe this is true, maybe I'm just looking way too hard into this, I don't know, but this is how I saw the song
That is what exactly what this song is about.
My heart... It hurts... "She" is way to similar to me. But trying just isnt enough to anyone...
DaSeaGoat 16: ikr...
DaSeaGoat 16 this song makes me cry because my mother always worried about me, so i associated the singer with my mother and the "she" with myself. JUST WRITING THIS IM IN TEARS

this song is honestly so beautiful, it sends out such a powerful message.
and it hurts you to listen to it because of how raw and honest it.
It's amazing how many people feel just like I do. Yet the people close to me, can't hear my cry for help. They can't understand why or how I feel this way.
This is me completely. I have been told that this song is me. I have struggled with depression, Autism, and life at times. I'm slowly doing better but I still struggle. Listening to this song reminds me that I have come a long way, but I still have farther to go.

I got married against my will even though I fought against my entire life. Now I'm stuck here forever and I have to pretend I'm happy. So yeah this song reminds me of myself.... Of the girl I used to be. Of the girl I could have been..

She was a very shy girl. I wish I could tell her what she had ahead of her.
probably wrong moment but.... p r e a c h
You can get it reversed and go back to being a girl again if you want to. If that is what you want, don't let anyone tell you that you can't!
This hits home. Been suffering severe PTSD for years.
k lac we love you k lac , I have depression ik this was 2 years ago but you can get through this I believe in you

How're you doing now hun?
If you hear sobbing it's just me.
NO it's me.

"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 up in a beautiful pie.
She is gone but she used to be mine."
This chorus hits really close to home because all my life I have been trying to be perfect so that others might finally notice me. I try my best to be the best person I can be but I lie on a day to day basis. I left about my feelings and how I really and what I truly want because I'm afraid people will judge me.

I am a mess but I try to be kind. I am lonely because I have no one that understands. I'm all of this mixed up and this is just who I am. I used to be someone better. Someone happier and I wonder if I'll ever become that happy again.
I see you, friend. I hope you're happier now. I hope I'm happier soon.
this song reminds me about two women I've lost these past 2 years. my mother and my old self.
your mother will never really go away:) I'm sorry for both of your losses but I hope you find yourself again
thanks Ana
the lyrics are so beautiful and inspiring sara is such a wonder songwriter she deserves so much more credit
My aunt just died yesterday and this song just take to a master feeling in me towards my family...she is brilliant, thank you sarah and see you later aunty
@MrElcantante25 My deepest condolences. I do hope you see your Aunty one day again.
This song just reminds me of my late aunt and it hurts, but it's the first time I haven't cried while listening to it since she passed. I'm proud of myself right now
A girl at my school was singing this song and she sang so beautifully and with so much emotion it took all of my power not to start crying right there during the song
I can relate to this. I really can, but that's not what makes me emotional. It's that it reminds me more of my mom. My mom left when I was young and married men and women since. I stay with my father. She doesn't have a good job and many people see her as imperfect and sometimes, I do too. There is so much going on with her and this songs just brings me back to her.

Mirzi Fuentes Hello. This is also where I am as well. In my 50's, and life went so fast, and some where along the way, I lost the fire in my eyes. Fighting on my knees .......
I’m pretty sure it’s impossible to not cry while listening to this song. It’s so relatable and hits really close to home.
This song never gets old it's so encouraging and inspiring still a little sad but I think everyone who has ever heard this song can relate to this beautiful masterpiece and I love her work and I think she is stunning and this song was amazing.😁😙👏 and everytime I listen to this song I just think wow
A wonderful voice and a very emotional song that helps me to finally cry.
This song is so beautiful and emotional. Sara's so talented. Love this song.
this song is too beautiful, I can't describe how much.
This song is a reminder of who I really am. I have never related to a song as greatly as I have this one. I dont feel as alone even tho I am so very alone. It shows the thoughts that don't stop in my head, that I'm not the only one who feels this way. Thank you Sara❤
This song is also in the broadway musical Waitress. You guys should listen to it it has a beautiful soundtrack. Hamilton is also AMAZING.
This was performed by one of my peers in class and i sat there sobbing because this song absolutely touched my heart like no other.
Sara deserves a million Grammies for this song! x
I was in a physically and emotionally abusive relationship about 5 years ago that changed me forever. & this song is everything. ❤️
What an incredible song. I really feel touched on a very melancholic personal note that makes me not want to share it as its so sad and precious but i still will.
I just found this song a few weeks ago and I still can't listen to it without crying. Thank you so much for this cathartic yet brutally gutting song x
I haven't felt alright for a very long time 😢, I miss the days where I felt so free and happy. Now I can't even think straight.
in this house we support the OT7 BTS right
I just found this song by chance. I just wrote in my journal how it's hard to believe the girl in old pictures of me and I are the same person. I feel such a disconnect. How did I become so broken? This song just really speaks to me.
FlawlessSelMarie I’m 13 and I can totally relate. I’ve had some amazing amazing moments with my family but some of the hardest like losing my sister and my uncle and friends turning on me and just my dad going through cancer it’s been rough on me. I just wish I could be that little girl again who thought life was a fairytale I would just love that for a day I miss it so much where you think you are invincible I just think I’m growing up too quickly I’m not dating people nor have I ever been but mentally I’m just growing up too soon I hate it.
Love this song. Sounds like a melody. She sounds really beautiful
I'm 18 and still live at home and this song describes me so much. It always makes me cry because I have nothing left that I think is good about me. My aunt who I live with has taken all of that away. I don't think anything about me is good or right. And it hurts so much. It hurts knowing that I have nothing left and she managed to break me like this and I might not be able to recover.
DEFINITELY ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFULEST SONGS I EVER HEARD
This song hits me.. I've been battling depression for years now. This song makes me just cry.
I listen to this song everyday 💗
I watched this so many times.....And i will watch this video over and over....
this song hit me so bad SOO BADDD, made me realize so much and i'm just working on being happy with myself and being happy on my own
She is messy but she's kind...she is lonely most of the time
A friend sung this to me, at first i'm not interested but the moment i listen the lyrics i was moved and crying on my bended knees. It really stuck me while it remind not to give up and continue to pursue what i really want in life. Thank you host for sharing it with us.
This song 80% describes my life. I listen to it on constant repeat and usually start crying when "she is broken" plays...
beautiful and touching song ,thank you .
I feel like this song was written for me. My husband had an affair this past year and it's made me feel like I dont know who I am anymore and I have been changing everyday go fit this mold. But this song makes me feel better when I hear it. Thank you Sara! You make amazing music
This is one of the best i have ever heard. It definitely hits something every time i listen to it.
thanks, it really describes who I am, who I used to be, and how I feel
I was brought here by just browsing through random UA-cam videos and I'm so happy that I clicked on this song. Like many people here I relate to this due to the fact that I've made so many mistakes and from that I lost who I really was and there isn't a day that goes by where I wish I could back and fix all that I've done to make things right with myself and others. I'm in tears at this point to where I can't stop listening to it so I can feel something that I haven't felt in a very long time.
This songs make me cry all the time I wish I could reverse my life and not be where I'm at today!!!!
I found this song recently. But its so real to me. I have probably listen to it over 15ish time over the past three days. Music makes me so emotional.
THIS SONG REPRESENTS ME SO MUCH😭💖
Tears of joy, we are all inperfect girls , we will try but we will make mistakes. Sara Bareilles you inspired me and my mom. We won't always fit in, Thank you.😊
this song touches me!!!

I never cried so much, tears of joy. I love this song so much and it gives me memories. Tirhank you for telling me that I am not I perfect girl I will try to be perfect but I will make mistake, you inspired me.
anyone listen to sad music as their background just to reflect back on sad stuff in their lifetime until tears just come out?
iv listened to this 15 since yesterday and I'm just commenting now...i related so much to this song I'm going through a really hard time right now.....im 14 ......divorce, I'm a perfectionist with grades, I'm easily stressed out......i just want you guys to know it gets better.
Wow... These lyrics are beautiful..
such a beautiful song, gives me those feelings i love it so much
Love this song!!!
“And you’re not what i asked for, if im honest i know i would give it all back for a chance to start over, to rewrite an ending or two for the girl that i knew” - personally i interpret this part of the song in a way where im talking about myself. how i didnt ask for the person i am now and i would take any chance to give her back and rewrite an ending for myself. to me these are the strongest lyrics in the song
i came bcs some guy recommended it in ig stories and gosh im hella shock 😍 this song is perf and heads up to that guy tho great taste in music mate
This song is so me! Almost every line describes me. It made me cry. :'(
my best friend sang this last year at a school choir concert a few months after she attempted suicide. I'm crying again.
I glad your friend still fought and is okay :)
So many people people crying in the comments. And now I join the ranks
Me too friend. I just sobbed a sob that needed out for weeks
My life story 💙
Love this song and it teaches me to do the right things.
I absolutely love this song.
I can't stop listening to this song.
A universal anthem for all us girls with a broken heart 💔
I often get down and don't know what else to do or who else to talk to because i am a big people pleaser, so asking for help is not something that I do on a regular basis. Every time I start to feel this way I listen to then song on repeat and remember that I don't have to be perfect. I'm not the girl used to be. I'm not that happy cheerful little girl who can find the good in everything. I've changed. I've toughened up after getting bruised. I'm imperfect, bu I still try my best which is the best thing that I can. I am hard on myself and very broken, but can't find the courage to ask for help, and because of this I am often lonely, but it's all wrapped up together and that's what makes me, me. That's what gives me my character and I am very thankful for the things that I have been through to get me to this place and I am very happy with where I am in life because despite all the imperfections, I am still perfectly beautiful.
Love the song very much,the lyrics touched me deeply!
Big tears. Beautiful!!
She so underrated and so is this song ❤️
I honestly love this song. It has so much meaning, It's incredible how this song pulls on those strings. I want to sing this song for an addition at my school, but midway through the song I start to cry 😔
I almost cried
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
Christian Meador this is literally a lyric video

Keep your head up and it people judge you just think that there words don't matter

@@laylamariawillis5308 nope 😇😇
@@tinapie178 OK..
@@tinapie178 cool vids btw
I like the part 'She is gone but she used to be mine'.. it's like she changed bacause of the pain that she felt.
The song is very beautiful and the message as well.
I really love this song..meaningful..!
This is me. Makes me cry every time. Exquisite emotional lyrics
This song helps me, it helps me ground myself because this is what I've become and I don't want to be this
You've managed to put my thoughts into words. Thank you.
Fern Herbert STAY STRONG...... 🤗
