Jessie Mueller recorded the song for the cast CD of Waitress on Broadway in 2016, and Mueller and Bareilles sang it at the 70th Tony Awards. The song was also included as a bonus track on country singer Jennifer Nettles’ Broadway CD Always Like New, which was released in advance of Nettles’ October 2021 replacement for Bareilles in the part of Jenna.
She Used To Be Mine Waitress Lyrics
It’s not simple to sayThat most days, I don’t recognize meThat these shoes, and this apronThat place, and its patronsHave taken more than I gave them It’s not easy to knowI’m not anything like I used to be, although it’s trueI was never attention’s sweet centerBut I still remember that girl She’s imperfect, but she triesShe is good, but she liesShe is hard on herselfShe is broken and won’t ask for helpShe is messy, but she’s kindShe is lonely most of the timeShe is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pieShe is gone, but she used to be mine And it’s not what I asked forSometimes life just slips in through a back doorAnd carves out a personAnd makes you believe it’s all trueAnd now I’ve got youYou’re not what I asked forIf I’m honest, I know I would give it all backFor a chance to start overAnd rewrite an ending or twoFor that girl that I knew Who was reckless just enoughWho gets hurtBut who learns how to toughen up when she’s bruisedAnd gets used by a man who can’t loveAnd then she’ll get stuckAnd be scared of the life that’s inside herGetting stronger each day‘Til it finally reminds herTo fight just a littleTo bring back the fire in her eyesThat’s been gone, but used to be mineOh, used to be mine She is messy, but she’s kindShe is lonely most of the timeShe is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pieShe is gone, but she used to be mine
