It's not simple to say That most days, I don't recognize me That these shoes, and this apron That place, and it's patrons Have taken more than I gave them It's not easy to know I'm not anything like I used to be, although it's true I was never attention's 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 back door And carves out a person And makes you believe it's all true And now I've got you 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 that girl that I knew Who be reckless just enough Who gets 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 Getting 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 Oh, 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

There she goes, on down the beach Just like the moon, she's out of reach Losing my mind, already lost my girl Blew the top right off my pretty world CHORUS Oh, she used to be mine She used to be mine She used to be mine She used to be mine 'Til I saw her with another man ('nother man) 'Til I saw her with another man (hand in hand) 'Til I saw her with another man ('nother man) 'Til I saw her with another man (hand in hand) Oh, there she goes, on out of my life She's my ex, thought she'd be my wife Kept my ring, my wedding band Keeps it on the same finger but on the other hand CHORUS I can taste her mouth Taste her tears I can hear what she used to say She'd be looking up from her coffee cup And through the steam I can see her glance away I miss her hand on my hip Tongue on my lips Lips on my cup of tea I miss the way she'd lie And the way she'd sigh When she'd lie right down Just next to me CHORUS She used to be mine (x8) She used to be mine Oh, oh she used to be mine Ooh, oh oh, yeah-eah Saw her with another man, saw her with another man Saw her with another man, saw her with another man Saw her with another man, saw, till I saw her with a Till I saw her with another man hand in hand

Let it begin, let Adam in Step one: original sin Underneath the leaves, Adam found Eve Both of them found something sweet under the apple tree Then it was over, roads divide Step two: learning how to lie Let me ask a question to present day How the hell did Eve end up with all the damn blame? All the damn blame To all the dirty looks, the kitty cat calls To the ones who try and throw us up against the back walls Let me tell you something you'll understand Only the little boys tell you they're a big man To all my sisters and all our friends We have to thank them, please Strength means blessed with an enemy Oh, my, my, my, my armor comes from you You make me try, try, try, try harder Oh, that's all I ever do, ever do Oh, no no, my, my, my, my armor comes from you You make me stronger, stronger Now, hand me my armor (Hand me my armor, hand me my armor) Step three: I see The unforgettable, incredible ones who came before me Brought poetry, brought science Sowed quiet seeds of self-reliance Bloom in me, so here I am You think I am high and mighty, mister?

The afternoon has settled long and heavy on my shoulders The winter's light feels different on my skin It doesn't seem to strike as far below the surface so I have to conclude that shadow won't let it in That shadow won't let it in, shadow won't let it in December... You've always been a problem child December... You run me down right restless and wild And I remember when you used to be mine December... December... The leaves are all still changing, the weather here is mild and vacant A winter's blooming on Los Angeles The artificial cold is more than I was hoping for But not enough to consume the darkened state I'm in The darkened state I'm in, the darkened state I'm in December... You've always been a problem child December... You run me down right restless and wild But I remember when you used to be mine December... December... Distill a whole year down into a day Act like we all start over with a pristine slate But to get yourself a new life you've got to give the other one away And I'm starting to believe in the power of a name Cause it can't be a mistake if I just call it change December... Can't turn around now December... Break the chain, can't live in circles again
