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 boy

he's imperfect, but he tries

he is good, but he lies

he is hard on himself

he is broken and won't ask for help

he is messy, but he's kind

he is lonely most of the time

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

he is gone, but he 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 boy that I knew

Who'll be reckless, just enough

Who'll get hurt, but who learns how to toughen up

When he's bruised and gets used by a man who can't love

And then he'll get stuck

And be scared of the life that's inside him

Growing stronger each day 'til it finally reminds him

To fight just a little, to bring back the fire in his eyes

That's been gone, but used to be mine

Used to be mine

he is messy, but he's kind

he is lonely most of the time

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

he is gone, but he used to be mine
