Used to Be Mine (Live) - Lauren Spencer Smith

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 And it's not what I asked for Sometimes life just slips in through a back door And carves out a person Makes you believe it's all true And now I've got you You know 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 Rewrite an ending or two For the 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 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

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

You're kinda loud and I kinda like it 'Cause I'm kinda loud, and you don't make me hide it We've even got all our friends thinking we're a match I'm waking up to a text from my mom She said she's obsessed, and she thinks you're the one Even got me thinking that you might be too I got used to second guessing You got used to coming second Just give us a second to unlearn all that we've learned So hey, yell me that you'll stay 'til the end 'Cause I don't wanna go from being lovers just to friends So hey, don't you dare to play pretend 'Cause I don't wanna fall in love to fall back out of love with you again All that I know is what I've seen before 'Cause when I get too much, they just walk out the door I'm scared to commit 'cause I don't know if you could resist You always leave at the first sight of doubt And I can't even blame you when she broke her vows You're scared to commit when nobody's committed to you I got used to second guessing You got used to coming second Just give us a second to unlearn all that we've learned So hey, tell me that you'll stay 'til the end 'Cause I don't wanna go from being lovers just to friends So hey, don't you dare to play pretend 'Cause I don't wanna fall in love to fall back out of love with you again Heartbreak is hard, but loving is harder And giving your heart for probable murder Can we take the risk? So hey, tell me that you'll stay 'til the end 'Cause I don't wanna go from being lovers just to friends So hey, don't you dare to play pretend 'Cause I don't wanna fall in love to fall back out of love with you again
