Lyrics:
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

Who's listening in 2024
My daughter committed suicide this time last December and I only found this song by chance last week not knowing anything about the musical. Lots of the lyrics are so appropriate and describe how she found herself in her journey through life which we as a family didn't know about. Those closest to her, her children, partner, ex partner eventually broke her spiritually, emotionally, financially to the point where she presumably saw no other way out to end the pain she was hiding and suffering. We miss her deeply and Christmas for us will never be the same again. Time doesn't heal the mental torment such events befall on families, if she had only cried out for help but alas this was not to be and life goes on within you and without you. I hope I get the chance to see the musical some day but time's running out for me as well at 70+ but at least I now have this wonderful song in my life. To avoid any confusion as seems to be the case with some of the very kind responses I have received, this comes from her father and not her mother.
I am sorry for your loss. She's in a better place now. No more pain or sorrow. I hope you are doing okay now. God is watching over her now.
THEROLLINGROAD2010 My heart is with you.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My prayers for you.
I am so so so very sorry.
Who’s listening to this at 2024? ❤ life is hard and complicated as you grow older. Hope everyone is well and stay strong in this difficult time.
Me 😅
❤
This is me rn
Love this song but it always makes me cry! The words are relatable for so many people!
Me 😢
My daughter sang this tonight for her recital at school. She's been battling an eating disorder for the last year and a half and finally confessed to us a little over a month ago. Needless to say, this song made me cry during her singing. So many parts of the lyrics speak to her and it breaks my heart that she's suffered for so long alone and didn't trust me enough to share with me this disorder. I long for the day she finds herself again and can live a healthy life and see just how beautiful and precious she is. If she could see herself through my eyes, she would never doubt her self worth. To all of those girls and boys who doubt yourself and struggle, to someone in this world, you are the best thing that happened to them and if you could see yourself in their eyes you would know your worthy. May God Bless your paths.
as someone going through recovery from an ED it’s so heartwarming to your comment and how you support your daughter. Your message means so much, sending much love and strength to you and your daughter as well, God bless ❤️
@@erinhuang263 Thank you Erin. I hope you are doing well. I understand it's a struggle to recover from this and it takes time. I will keep you in my prayers as well.
Youre such a great parent, as a girl who has lived an eating disorder without her parent's support and Who feels that this song talks about her, i only can say you thank you for trying to give help. It is a Hard way, and maybe there is more than the ed, probably lots of hidden fears, dudes or Hurt in your daughter's life, but i'm sure that you can overcome all the obstáculos. Don't feel like a bad parent, i am sure that you Will find the way of help her, with lots of love, time, talk and hugs. Best of my wishes, you can go out from the ed. Hugs
When I graduated high school I weighed only 93lbs. At my lowest I hovered around 87lbs. In 1987 when my mom finally found out, after going to our blessed Dr. Miron, called All my friends AND my teachers. They were instructed to watch me like a hawk. My friends made sure I ate lunch and then made sure before the next class that I did not throw it up. That's kinda how they treated it back then. If you would just eat. I was suffering from such crippling depression. That's why I wasn't eating. Mine was not a body dismorphic thing. Only went for help when I was in my early 30s. Been getting therapy for 20 years. And Every time I get really, really down I stop eating. In March I ended up in a psych ward for a week. And I needed to be there. Been hospitalized years before as well. I pray for your precious daughter as well. Sounds like you're a vigilant and loving mom. I lost mine only 2 months after od ing on one of my meds. I wish, wish I hadn't done that and put her through that. Lost my boyfriend only 2 weeks after losing my wonderful amazing mom. Looking back I'm not sure how I survived. Or how I continue to. Mom was only 56. I am now 54(!) And I still struggle. I get help and try to talk. But when I'm in it...every bite is a struggle. Your daughter, I think, with you by her side will prevail. Don't EVER give up on her! You may not fully understand why she does what she does but just be there. Like my mom keep on her, keep telling her you're there and that you love her. NO MATTER WHAT. She'll hear you, she will. Prayers for you both. Keep fighting!
❤️ Much love and support, I'm glad your daughter managed to open up to you after so long. It's the start of a long journey but I have faith that you can both do this together and your bond will be stronger than ever xxx
In 1967 I was 8 years old. My stepdad began molesting me. That’s when my spirit died and I became someone other than I was supposed to be. I became an alcoholic around age 17. My life was so full of chaos, struggles and losing things forever. I’m now 62 and I’ve been sober for over 11 years. I have two beautiful children who help guide me. I know who I am today. I’m a very strong woman today. My life’s journey made me that way. This song is so relatable and I’m OK. My faith in God saved my life a very long time ago. That little girl has stopped crying. I now love that little girl. I see her every time I look in the mirror and I’m proud of who I’ve become 🙏♥️.
Hope that doesn't hurt you anymore, and you're so much stronger than before.
best wishes, ma'am
I don't know you... but after reading this I feel proud of you too.
❤️
You're so strong, we're so proud of you💗💗
Accidentally played this song. Gotta say this is the best accident that ever happened in my life.
KZhead still has some value.
Same 🥺
On god. Same with me, just going through dances and sad songs and a BEAUTIFUL dance came up with this song and I can’t get it out of my head... it’s hitting a little too close to home.
Sameee
Period sis 😍😍😍😍
My wife played this in the car once. I told her she's still here, and we love her, very much. She cried.
Awww
That is so kind. I would never play this for my husband, though I desperately want to.
@@cyndieK1 why not?
@@Jo-nv8yb married 32 yrs. Last 10 have been loveless. He wouldn't care.
@@cyndieK1 I see - what changed at year 20?
Understatement: This lady knows how to write songs.
Yaa I have never heard a more beautiful masterpiece even though it's a women's song..
❤
FINALLY FOUND IT
And sing!
Just don’t ask her to write you a love song.
Dear Self, Don’t give up on me, please. We’ve been through a lot and I know we’ll get through this storm again. I know it’s so hard and it’s messed up right now, but please, forgive yourself. Let them go. It’s never too late to start over. I love you. I love you so much! We can do this. We’ll be free and happy. Genuinely. Soon! ♡ xoxo, me :))
🥰❤️
Thank you. Fighting
Sending you love!
Best miracles happen accidentally...
🌷🥰
I've never heard a song be so relatable. And the way Jessie sings it on the show is something else. Should've won something
She wins me...
She did win something. She won the praise of millions of people across the world. Her music speaks to the youth. 😊
I"m sorry..........who's Jessie?
waitressthemusical.com/index.php
+Ashley Taccone Jessie Mueller, she plays Jenna in the musical that Sara composed and wrote the lyrics for, Waitress.
A dad with two boys. Crushed by this. I keep playing it when no one’s around. Wife thought it was a religious song. Are deep feelings religious or “spiritual?” Nah. Just human. Glad to be human. :) powerful song
❤
Im 47 and this song sums up me now. Life has an effect. I was once hopeful, a romantic, a believer in happy endings. And I miss her.
This beautiful song can apply to all people, regardless of who they are. We all lose our early selves, I hope you find her again.💙
47 here and feel exactly the same way. I read my old journals when I was younger and was so hopeful. I miss her too. I will find her again. This year, period. I hope we all do... ❤
So true. I am 50. I agree with you.
I agree .. feeling pretty lost these days. "She is lonely most of the time" just hits me. The one who was so social one time not that many years ago.
Same 😢😢
I had a classmate named Sofiya. Once I was yelled at by my teacher and classmates and had an anxiety attack. I was about to cry but she hugged me, a hug that I still feel up to now, it was the most comforting hug ive ever felt. I have never thought of dying, it has always occured to me that I will reach my dreams first before I even die. It was Sunday, I was so happy being able to go to a trip with my class. I went to my best friends house, she showed me the picture my classmates were uploading saying may she rest in peace. I genuinely thought it was a joke, I got angry bc its not something to joke about. I still can't believe it until we went outside. My teacher came up to us with a soft voice, like she was afraid we might break. I still remember the burst of emotions I had I want to stop crying because I don't want to believe it, but I can't. My body felt heavy once the cold air of the venue creeped through my skin. Her name. Her name was there in the chapel. We went up. I saw her picture, I covered my mouth and plugged my earphones, I can't cry, I have no right to cry, this is her family's mourning moments I shouldn't ruin it. It took a while to muster up the courage to see her lying there, lifeless. She's so pale. Her left face is almost destroyed. It was a car crash. But she still looks like an angel. It strucked me. How life is short. How lucky I am to be alive. How much pain I'm feeling. How she affected me even if we're not close friends. Sofiya, you really do shine brightly.
Wow... I’m so sorry for your loss!!! 💗💗
I'm so sorry.
Those are the special and impactful moments that make us who we are, and we remember them always. Sorry for your loss. It sounds like she was a beautiful soul.
@@amymbeauty8765 she was...she really was
@Historia Antiqua ???
"she is broken and wont ask for help" :'(
This is my favorite line. Accurate a f
+Geizel Fernandes please ask for help! I know it's hard and you feel like no one understands but please don't give up. Ask people you can trust for help. And keep trying to get help. I'm gong through this process at the moment too. Ask God for help too. He is always there for us and understands better than anyone.
It's much easier to keep things to yourself and not ask for help. Asking for help makes you feel vulnerable. It makes you have to deal with the problem. Easier said then done just asking for help.
Just a dad who ran into this song... and can't stop listening to it. I have 4 daughters and know I can't protect them forever. I think we can all relate to the message of this, that life will beat us up and we gotta find our strength through it
Same here brother, only 1 daughter but she is my heart and soul.
Makes me happy to see dad's who love their daughters so much
Their is hope.
You are not JUST a dad, Good fathers are just as important as good mothers, don't think of yourself or men in general as lesser parents.
As a daughter who lost her dad, you just made me 😭. I had a great dad. The fact that he isn't here anymore to protect me and give me advice kills me. So the fact that this made you think of how much you want to protect them is so touching to me💗💔
I used to listen to this last 2021. I can still remember clearly how scared, broken, and lost I am that time. And now it's 2024, I tried to listen to it again. I'm happy to share that I'm not scared and broken anymore. I think, I have finally healed from those secret wounds of mine. I made it!!!!☺️❤️
I'm so happy to hear this... It's why I'm revisiting the song too 😊❤
Wow! That is so beautiful! 🥹
It's nice to know, internet stranger :) Stay safe!
@@Andrea_404 stay safe too dear!
Sara bareilles is the most honest song writer that I've heard this generation. He music isn't like all the others, it's deep and emotional.
yeahhh
you guys should listen to Maria Mena to..
I'm with you. A true talent.

+cm1727 Passenger too....and Sam Smith (in terms of lyrics and delivery).

mmmk
Same here
"She is broken, but wont ask for help" thats me...
This song helped me get through my divorce. My daughter sent this to me saying this is ME. She was only 14 then, now she’s a full pledged executive assistant to an international company. Both of us hold on to this song. We moved on, grew up and get back on a life better than what we left behind. ❤❤❤
This is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
I Listen to this song over and over again and I hope I have been good to my wife for the last 50 years. Billy 73 years old.
🥰🥰🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤❤❤❤❤
Your comment just really touched me ❤
I haven't felt like myself in 7 years. And everyday I remember less and less of the girl I once was. And I can't get her back.
Same !
Try listening to Jessie j's who you are! Helps me get back to who I once knew.
I’m literally crying..I miss HER and I wish I could apologise to her once but she’s gone. The part of me I will miss forever.
So sad
If you say you can't...or you say you can .. you're right. Speak abundance in your life girl...reach out for help ..just like you did now....self-pity be damned!! ❤️
Whoever whose reading this, i hope you heal at your most perfect phase in life.
Looking forward for that day :)
I hope you too. We all deserve to.
❤️
To whoever wrote this comment, I hope the love you put out in the world comes back to you with compound interest.

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 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 be reckless just enough Who can 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
T h a n k y o u . ✨️
Tysm ❤
« She is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie » shame, this line ruins the whole song for me 😮💨
the line is absolutely relevant because Sara wrote this song for a play. The character in the play is a baker and waitress so the line makes perfect sense when you know the whole story
❤
Heard this sung by a young lady at my daughter's end-of-year concert and found it hugely moving.
Her voice is so emotional and beautiful to listen to. I'm glad to finally hear a new song from her!
ya, same here...
+chocodo9 hell yeah!
Does anybody ever feel they just need a good cry? Like, voluntarily cry? This never fails me when I need one
It's cathartic
Same. I listen to this song when I want to get a good cry. I
Mine’s gravity. If I needed to cry, I just listen to it. Reminds me of the person who introduced Sara’s songs to me. He passed 2years ago.
Yes
Yeah, one of the very few songs that can do this. Tears just well up each time I hear it.
This song reminds me of my mother. I can't listen to it without crying. It's beautiful. She was a single mother, a waitress, and worked all the time. I hardly saw her because she worked so hard to give us a good life. It hurts to listen to this sometimes. every word hits....
me too
I am male, 38, and so very not pregnant. And this song resonates with me in ways not a lot of music does. I found it on tiktok by chance (thought the melody was haunting), but then I listened to the full song one day driving to work. Every word hit so hard I started to cry. I really do think there are many, many ways people can listen to this and find meaning for their own lives. It makes me long for the person I was, for the chances (and people) I lost, but it also makes me want to keep going and fight just a little. Its an amazing, amazing song.
Exactly I'm also a man But no matter what your gender is, this song can really relate to your personal life And you're right Every word in this song hits me so hard It also makes me cry
Fresco
Мне тоже 38 лет,но я женщина. Сейчас переведу. Пока не зная ещё перевод,моя душа уже знает,что это про неё. Душе не нужно переводить с английского. Она чувствует другим
First time I heard this song I thought it described me
👍🏽👍🏽❤❤✝✝
Who's here with me listening and crying to this song now?
Yup😢
Me!
Me, A quick right jab in my soul
Me I’m 59 year old woman crying her eyes out. I wanted to be nice but people saw as weakness
right here
Who's listening to this in 2020 ?.....one of the songs I'm taking with me this year
Yes me just discovered this beautiful song Christmas
Same! 😢
oh hi
Fatima NB me right now
Just discovered this song today (1/10/20).
You are fortunate not to be among the troubled top ranks of music industry. Just remain concealed like a gem, Sara. You represent a precious find for those who are in search of valuable treasures.
The music industry didn't want her because she writes her own music, probably produces some of it and can perform it like a pro. Because of these things the music industry would have to share profit with her and they do not want that. They want disposable talent that won't claim any ownership rights to the music and therefore can't profit from it in perpetuity. This is why you see the people you see in the music industry today. It is also why the WGA and SAG are on strike for their rights at this moment. Please support them unless you want to see tv and what is left of movies get even worse.
take me back to being a child whilst my parents were still alive . i was happy the world was a better place . now it's just full of heartache and heartbreak 😢😢
I really want to hug my young self, she feel so cold, she been through a lot and nobody’s by her side. She’s so kind to everybody, wont say no, she brought a whole bag of soft drinks for her friends, in hope they’ll forgive her for doing nothing wrong. But she’s happy, no matter how many times people throw shit at her, she’s smiling, she’s so innocent, she’s beautiful, so beautiful.
:(
Allah is good...when you felt no human good to you just know that Allah is always good to you..
hugs 🤗
She still is--beautiful.
I found this song in my healing moment after broke up and getting sick and being positive in covid 19. I cried a lot and pray a lot too, I forgive but not forget the pain that they give to me. I learn and try to love my self more and more, and apreciate people who love me more
You know, even being a man, I find Sara's songs so relatable. She has a wonderful way of painting a picture with her words that you can see in your own life and feel like she understands and has been where you are or have been. Much love Sara, thank you for this one 💙
Everyone can relate to this song
The Groovy Guitar Dude - Daily Guitar Lessons Couldn't agree more
Omg yesss very descriptive
Nunca falta una "loca" comentando en español ! Hahahaha☺! life in this musical gem! greetings from PERÚ !!
😭
This song makes me cry all the time. Divorce is hard for anyone😢
This Song is a way to remember who you used to be, before the everything change. " She's messy but she's kiind"
"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" It feels like it's describing me , my life and my feelings :) Anyway Thanks Sara for this song , It's amazing 👌🏻👏🏻
Ya mine to
me too
Mine too🥺🥺🥺
Same🤚😭😭😭😭😢😢
ㅖ)
I was standing in the kitchen, cooking, when autoplay started this. Now, I'm standing in the kitchen, crying, over a song I've never heard before. What a talent!
I can't believe you have never heard this song..... Glad you found it 💜
Just heard it tonight....wow.
Your comment is what keeps me coming back again n again. Good that you appreciate her voice and talent
Lee Mac 😪🤧hard to cook while you bawling😭
Same :)
Her voice is at another level… The smoothness n the control is beyond words. Adele on another level.
As someone who's fighting a terminal illness this song hits hard. Im fighting to try to get back who I used to be.
Same. Lonely, most of the time.
I feel like she's still a little bit underrated as an artist. Yeah she's been nominated in the Grammys but I don't think she's got enough exposure that she deserves. I hope that more people will appreciate and love her music.
Most people are busy worshiping trash, not everyone can appreciate true talented artists like Sara, I'd say let's keep it this way ^_^
plaidissogay02 I'm okay with her being not so mainstream. I think Sara's music speaks to some of us in ways most people just write off as "sad" or "depressing" those of us who get it appreciate every word this woman sings.
I know where you're coming from but, as others say, her music's target audience isn't everyone. And I don't think she really wants to much exposure, sure lots more people should listen to her. She is so inspiring and helps me through life but her music can get sad, most people don't understand music like that and I guess it scares them. They don't know what the singer is talking about, they can't relate and so they ignore the music and listen to the trash on the radio about people's overconfident views on themselves. I do hope she gets more appreciation, though.
I agree 100%. I have been listening to her for years. I love her music. I can relate to a lot of her songs.
plaidissogay02 I agree. She is authentic and raw. Truly talented.
yesterday Adele, now Sara. what a wonderful weekend.
IKR!!
I know, this weekend is so great
amazing week ;)
+Angelica Fandiño wait for NOVEMBER! A WONDERFUL MONTTHHHH :D
and now there's a new live acoustic video from Anathema today, this is a great week for new music!
Just beautiful. For all of us that are re-finding ourselves somehow.
I’m listening to this while I’m batteling the worst episode depression has ever hit me with… I’ve never in my life been this down and it’s not the first time I’m dealing with depression. This song is the only thing in the world that can actually make me cry, since I became numb by the pain. It’s so good to finally be able to cry, thank you, thank you so much for these lyrics. I’ll make sure to come back after the fire in my eyes is gonna be back, I promise I’ll fight as hard as I can to bring it back…
🫂❤️
i hope you’re at the other end of it ❤
hugs.
Things won't always be like this sweetheart. There's light at the end of the tunnel and it will shine brightly for you. Sending you lots of love ❤❤❤
Sending you hugs! I hope you found that fire!
The line "It's not easy to know that I'm not anything like I used to be" hurts so much. It's like you know your full potential, and how you perform when you're really passionate on what you're doing, because that's how you were a few years ago. But now, you're just lost. Man, growing up sucks but we have no choice but to move forward.
Fck this hit too close to home ☹
You and I have so much in common three years ago I used to be the perfect rising star but no I'm considering suicide as my last solution I hate being a teen that's why I always tell my family and friends that I wish I would never grow they think it's weird but now I know I'm not the only person who thinks so
If this ain't me 🥺
Yeah it hurts but life goes on :')
@@Wonyse11297 that is NEVER the answer, you will get through this. Life is ups and downs. Wait for the up, it is coming. God bless you
It's weird.. until I heard this song, I never realized I miss the bright-eyed, insecure little girl I used to be. Innocence is so pure and beautiful. What an incredible song.
All I can say is me too 😔
Raenst0rm As a grown man all I ever wanted was a baby girl to fill my life and that of her sweet mother’s too. I was blessed with many sons, all of whom made my life complete all the same. This song, along with Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle will always make me understand the happy cries and sparkling memories of a little girl kept inside a beautiful woman. It’s funny you know, b cause inside us mere males too, still lives that little boy with similar memories of having lived in glorious times. No matter what gave us strength and wisdoms - parents, siblings and friends alike - we gracefully draw on all of it every time a mesmeric melody is left in our hearts. Kindest wishes and many memories of that little girl again and again :)
She means herself?(she used be mine)?
@@mery6457 Yes. The song is about losing oneself
Thank you for making me cry
I flew from Canada to New York to see Sara sing this live. I was fully expecting to cry through the song. I wasn’t expecting to cry every time she sang. Sara haunts me like no other artist ever has or will.
Please pray for me. I’m having a very difficult time in my life right now. I hate my marriage. I want to escape. I dont know how my life got to this point. I have nowhere to turn but God.
Praying that God is ever present in everything in your life. I know you commented a year ago, hope you’re doing well still now.
This video, this song, this artist equally deserves every view the lovely Adele has in her new single and it really makes me so incredibly insane that "Hello" will eclipse "She Used to be Mine" in almost every media outlet, instead of sharing the spot, for no other reason than the comeback break. Seriously, Sara Bareilles has top-notch skills and she hasn't gotten the spotlight she rightfully deserves, goddammit.
+Yannick Rodríguez Couldn't agree with your more!
i cannot agree more
+Yannick Rodríguez All the kids today don't sit down and take the time to listen to meaningful songs. All they want is a catchy beat and lyrics that weren't even written by the "artist." Let's say a new Taylor Swift song comes out, they don't listen to it because it's good, they listen to it because it's Taylor Swift.
+Christopher Tong "Blank Space" was great; it is the best thing she's ever done. It was a pure satire of herself, her fans and the media. I also like shake it off. Having said that, you're are correct; she is no Sara "B"!
+Christopher Tong Excuse me, but could you not generalize people based on their age? I'm thirteen and I don't only want "a catchy beat." I have no interest in Taylor Swift and every single song I listen to has meaning. Saying "all the kids" is completely inaccurate; you're just describing those who have no musical taste, those who enjoy rap and such garbage. I think that if you paid a little more attention, you'd see that a large number of us are nothing like that at all. But you won't pay more attention, will you? You'll continue to consider adolescents as uneducated children, just like every other adult. You will generalize and generalize and generalize until no one even remembers that kids like myself exist-- kids who care about what they listen to and stay far away bad music. I suppose this isn't a big deal to you, or to anyone who's going to call me out on this comment, but I am sick of it. Entirely and irrevocably sick.
I think in a way I'm actually happy Sara is not so famous; it's like she's a little secret and only the lucky ones get to appreciate her talent. If it were another one of my favorite artists releasing her album almost at the same time as Adele, I'd be freaking out, but with Sara I really don't mind because I know she's not looking for fame, she just wants to sing and be heard, and I definetly want to listen. I will enjoy her music all the same even if she's not breaking VeVo records.
+mariana barrios I know right.
Agreed!
Well put!
+mariana barrios I'm feeling the same way with you! Though I also hope that people recognize her for her talents in singing and songwriting (and other efforts she's ventured, such as writing).
ah you speak my thoughts!
I endured a 26-year toxic, dysfunctional, and abusive marriage. I got to the point I couldn't get out of bed and was so broken I could hardly function. With the help of good friends and family, I finally broke free and have spent the last few years trying to get on my feet and find myself again. This song touched my heart and soul so deeply! I will find her (me) again! She is there under all the pain and trauma. And every day I see her a little more...❤
This song describes my life in 20’s I turn 30 tomorrow and I believe 30’s will give me some peace. For my 20’s it had bitter moments which eventually turned into great lessons. I lived more for others than myself so as I turn 30 tomorrow I promise myself to do better for myself first.
Happy Birthday 🎂❤️
I can relate ❤
N yessss happy happy birthday 🎉🎉🎉
When I first heard this song on the radio while driving, I cried. It felt like she was singing about my life, my personality, which is something I never thought of as worthy of being put into a song and be sung about by a beautiful voice. Thank you, Sara Bareilles, for writing a song I can relate to so well.
I feel the same way :')
Diddo - I bawled for my wife, then shared it with her. Then she cried her eyes out too.
same
me too, I heard it while driving after a long night. It was so beautiful and I'm so proud of Sara
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
Thank you 😊 💓

Thanks

Just amazing and thank you for your music that touches my soul. Mmmmuuuaahh!!
I...I have been listening to this song for as long as I can remember and the part "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 and mixed into a beautiful pie" is what helped me get through a really hard time in my life this part and the love of my best friend I'm glad we have music like this. Thank you❤
To every woman who constantly saves herself at the edge of those cracks w a little more effort than the times before, there will be justice, recognition and a deepening of self. Not bc it is what you hope for during difficult times, but bc it’s YOUR narrative and YOUR birthright to recreate whoever it is you need to become in order to blossom and shine on 🌸✨💖
I mourn the person I could’ve been if my depression hadn’t snatched who I was and am.
Exactly my thoughts
@@nikki7287 me too but you can live a different life, very hard but it can be done.
Orphic it ain’t over yet, keep pushing babygirl. Try to find things that make you happy outside of the house and dive into that. You are loved!

I am drawn in by Sara’s powerful vocals, and I did not realize it was an emotional, sorrowful song until I listened to the lyrics. So happy to find this song, it is lovely written.
I can’t listen to this song without crying. Makes me think of the Me before and after serving in combat. “He is gone but he used to be mine.” I plan on writing a full adaptation of this song for people suffering with PTSD.

Thank you so much for your service 🙏 this song resonates with so many people in so many situations.
Thank you for your service.
I hope you succeed. Best wishes!
❤️❤️❤️
I'm failing at life. This song is inspiring.
hope things get better for you
Dave Warnock thank you❤️
Can't be courageous without failure . . . . stay strong
In our failures are the opportunities to transform our pain, to see who we really are....stay strong, love wants you to succeed....
Lee-anne Russell I highly doubt that. You're awesome
Tomorrow is Mother's Day. To all those drowning in marriage and motherhood. I see you.... You are not stuck, there still is a fire . Find what sets your heart on fire.
I've also been in a relationship with a narcissist... 😔 It's hard to find yourself again. But you can do it too.
These tears that fall now, are not of sadness but rather understanding
Man, you are insightful. Thank you for you succinct and powerful post! Truly.
YES!! You said what I was thinking ❤️
Yessssss 🙏
This comment 💛
crying
This song simply hit a place in my soul that I did not know I had.
I know what you mean
Hello. Kindly visit Morissette Amon's version, i'm sure you'll like it too. Thank you. ✌
Absolutely same, I’ve never felt more understood
I'm an old man. I love my music. I Pride myself in loving diversity and challenge for new and beautiful things that we can achieve in this lifetime. I've never quite felt the way I did after hearing this song. Mesmerizing and one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.
Makes me think of my ex girlfriend, I really miss her
She's a very talented, determined, and wonderful artist. This is my favorite Sara song! 🎶
Found this song today randomly and cried. I think every woman on earth can relate to this song at some point in their life. Such a powerful song. 💕🥹
Omg same just now. Agreed
Oh, Yes ! You have to grow up as a girl then a woman to totally understand these lyrics....Still in 2024 .... we tend to leave our own identity behind😢 ❤ x
Dear listeners who miss their old selves, It’s not too late, that person is still inside you & when you’re ready, you can start to let them out again. The new you can be their guide & keep them safe so they don’t have to retreat again. It doesn’t matter what changed you, it matters that you’re wiser now & ready to try again. Change may be slow but it will be steady & every tiny step forward counts ❤️
I believe in you & I believe in myself 💗 It’s taken me a long time to get here, but you will too 😊
all my life in this musical jewel! Greetings from Peru
Jen Scott you’re welcome Jen, you’ll get there 💕
Thank you, I really needed to hear that today
jodi therres you’re welcome Jodi, I hope tomorrow’s better :) 💕
I dedicate this song to my daughter, struggling with addiction. She is not the same kind, caring woman I raised. Often it feels like she is gone, and the person in her place just looks like her.
"Bring back the fire in her eyes" you got this!
Praying for y’all. Addiction is a horrible thing.
I hope you can find it within you to be loving and kind towards her. She needs your love the most when she is unlikable.
please dont give up . I can relate to this unfortunately and I remember EXACTLY what you are saying . Its so hard watch and not be able to fix it . I can tell you this , she has been one year clean and she barely remembers that two year period that destroyed us on every level but one thing she said that has stuck with me is "thank you mom and dad for never giving up on me, I may not be here if you did" Please fight the good fight and remember it isnt your daughter its the drug . Not sure if you are a religious person or not but prayer is does more than we can see. I will be praying for you and your daughter
I'm a 52 year old male, and I understand these feelings just as well. Guys feel like this too sometimes. We take a nap, wake up 30 years older it feels like. Then you go to bed and wake up 50 and long for the days where I could rewrite an ending or 2 (or 10).😭
But i hope one day to be healed from all this and one day leave this as a part of the book of my life and never return back to this. This is the hardest chapter ever but i believe i will move onto the next chapter and it will be brighter happier then ever.
I think every women feels this way at some point in her life. What a tragic song. It's good to hear to remember where you've come from and return to the woman who is free.

Every person* but yes
And to the man...
Hello! I don't mean to bother you, but for some reason you came up in the comment box but I do not think I know vou, I thought I just write and say hello, maybe we could be friends, I hope vou are comfortable with that😍😍😍😘❤️
I just found this song, as my girlfriend and I just ended our relationship. She was my first real love, and every guy has to go through that pain at least once. This song represents everything I feel. She is all of those things baked a beautiful pie, and I don’t ever want her to be hurt by a man who can’t love, I just want her to be happy and safe and free from all harm and pain. She used to be mine, and I’ll always love her.
Do you know "And So It Goes" by Bily Joel? Perhaps it's worth listening to?
I’m really happy about how big this got because her vocals were slept on for so long
I think i just fell in love with Sara Bareilles.
+Stefney Lucas join us
***** Aha yaas x)
+Stefney Lucas Yes join us! hahaha
+Stefney Lucas Great! Come in and take a seat.
+Stefney Lucas well youll have to join the group of us than because theres a million of us im sure.
I refuse to believe that she only has one grammy in her entire career.
she’s the best song writer out there
that shows how twisted the industry is..
Sometimes talent don’t need phiscally awards you are her awards
Mariah Carey has only won 5 Grammys in her entire 30 year career. She has tons of other awards and accolades and is the biggest selling female recording artist in history. She also writes all her own music (except for covers), as well aa produces her own records... Yet 5 Grammys in 30 years.
She is young
No words to properly express my admiration for such a brilliance
2022, always remind me to revisit this beautiful piece.🥺
A year ago my house was involved in a fire. I lost everything I once thought I had; everything that once I believed made me be ME. My mom was badly injured that day and I spent near 3 weeks with her in the ICU. Then we had to move to another city cause we didn't have some place to live and call our own. As my dad's work demands him to travel everywhere, I had to take care of my entire family; including my 2 lil sisters, and my mom. I lost the love of my life; he walked away one day. The only person who helped me to be strong enough to keep going. Most of my friends also walked away. After a year I returned to (the place once used to be) my home, to rebuild it. Alone. It's been a really really tough year. On my prom night I had both my parents at the hospital. I feel like I've lost so many things that day, including parts of myself. Parts that I don't think are coming back. And some other parts were slowly just drifting apart. I related so much to this song that I've been crying all day long. It hurts me, 'cause I never thought that someone could ever feel this way. Thank you so much Sara, for making me realize that there's at least someone out there who I can relate to. This song is just... perfection. And I hope I can be the person I was once. Maybe, someday...
Hey Luis :) hang in there ya..your story really touched me..i nearly lost my Mum too due to an illness but my so-called "friends" told me to forget her as she lay on the hospital bed..can you believe that? Don't let them get you down..what helped me was God...there's always something to hold on to...there's a reason for you to continue to fight..you are going to change the world someday with the experience you went thru... I'll keep praying for you..God bless :)
Your comment Luis Ramirez, touched my heart, don't lose faith! For you too will return to once was lost...it may seem utterly failed but your story shared here is a beacon for others! Keep writing...you may have found that just sharing your story, may strengthen others in turn strengthening you!! I will keep you and your family in my prayers and may God bless you abundantly beyond this life and the lives that you touch with your story, for it is a story of hope, discernment, as well as encouragement, Luis!
I'll pray for you. Keep your head up and pray and hopefully things turn towards how you want them to! Much love❤️
Luis Ramírez praying that this coming year brings you healing, love and time to just catch your breath. hang in there. sending you infinite strength
My mother is a wonderful person. The second youngest of four daughters, she made mistakes. She got pregnant at 20. Barely ready for a child. She walked away from one abusive man and did what she had to, to raise her son. She worked two jobs. She found him a good father figure...someone she thought was a good father figure. She got him his first dog. She believed in him no matter what. When that father figure turned out to be manipulative she walked away, and made so many mistakes. And it was the son's chance to remind her of all she'd done for him and make sure she landed back on her feet. This song shattered me. I'm in pieces. I'm sobbing. All the things my mother sacrificed, all the pain and the mistakes. She's not the same woman she was, how could she be? I know she has regrets. And somehow, magically, I know I'm not one of them, even thogh my existence caused so much. I shared this with her and she cried with me. Thank you for Sara Bareilles. We can't change the past. We can't make scars vanish. But knowing that others have felt this. That others know that fight to find that fire again. It means to the world to my mom. It means the world to her son. Thank you.
Beautifully said ❤
Gizmo, Your beautiful, flawed, BRAVE resilient Mom has OBVIOUSLY accomplished something SPECTACULAR in her life and that is YOU!! To have a son who recognizes his mother’s struggles and pain and most of all her HEART must be the gift from God that makes her Life worth ALL she endured. You are her ultimate VICTORY over everything life put in her path and you are BOTH so very lucky to have each other. ❤️
Sara always makes me catch my breath….How lucky are we for her sharing her talent?
I’ve literally listened 1000 times so soothing and beautiful.
For those of you wondering why she hasn't came out with new music I'll tell you why. She's been working on all the songs for the Broadway musical version of the movie "Waitress." That's what this song is from btw.
Ohhhhh okay! I didn't know that. I've been waiting for a new album from her ;-). I love Sara's music.
+sweetiepie9411 New album coming this November titled: What’s Inside: Songs from Waitress You welcome ^_^
+Jenny Thorson And she is releasing a new album on Nov 6th, with all of the music she wrote for the musical, but pop style.
+Jenny Thorson WOW Jenny. WHO DIDN'T KNOW THAT? Stop posting.
+Rex Craigo I replied to like two people and actually quite a lot of people didn't know that. Just because we know that doesn't mean everyone else does. She isn't as popular as like Taylor.Swiff where every little thing she does makes the front page of the paper or is the top news story...So if by posting.this I helped inform even one person than I'm glad .
Respect your mirrors. They don't laugh when you cry. Respect your pillows. They catch ur tears and prevents ur house from flooding. Respect ur knives. They make the pain go away by producing pain. And last but not the least: Respect your eyes. They explain things that ur mouth cannot.
I cried reading this. This is true and. ✋✊✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏿✊🏾
Beautiful!
I love this. 💜💜💜
Wow just wow
Plz don’t use knives in that way tho
"she is imperfect but she tries she is good but she lies she is hard on herself she is broken but wont ask for help she is messy but shes kind she is lonely most of the time" ..this is me
On the worst of days i find myself hiding in a black hole - not even seeing myself in a mirror… I fight to climb out each day and it gets tougher and tougher. I never feel like I matter , or have any value. This song and her amazing calming voice remind me - I do matter.
Dear myself: please give life another chance, and I'm sorry that you've been so lonely, that you've been fighting alone for so long, that I didn't appreciate you enough. Thank you for being the one that's always by my side through my ups and downs. I'm sorry for all the bad things I've said and done to you. I'm sorry... I'm sorry...
Sending love
Be strong, you’re not fighting alone
Dear Kristene, please don’t give up on life. We all feel lonely sometimes but loneliness is all-consuming and dampens any brightness, but life isn’t just loneliness. I hope you find the beautiful parts in this massive world, even if it’s the small things, a butterfly in summer, the feeling of warm sun on your back as a cool breeze glides by, drinking a hot tea on a snowy day underneath a pile of blankets. Life is difficult and stressful and draining at times but those moments make the beauty in this world that much sweeter. I truly hope you get the chance to experience those little pleasures (a good start could be baking a fresh batch of cookies, letting the smell of vanilla fill your surroundings). It’s taken me a while and I still dip every so often but I appreciate life so much more now that it is in colour again, rather than when it was great and unforgiving. Please listen to yourself and give life another try - even if you falter keep trying. I believe you can do it because you already promised yourself that you would try. (Feel free to message me if you want a cookie recipe or chat). X
❤️
Keep going ❤️❤️
I love the fact that by the title we think it's just a love song but in fact it's a song about yourself. It's powerful lyrics Trying to find yourself!
Beautiful song. Relate to my life. I was used by a man I loved but he pretended to love me. Thankfully I meet a man who loves me deeply, doesn't care about my past and both of us are happily married. Tears are rolling down on my cheeks as I'm typing this. Thanks, Sara. ❤️
So glad to hear of you and your mans happy ending, It did not work out for me but i love to know there are those who it did work for , it gives us all hope, Be well.
She used to be Mine. She is singing to the woman losing her former self. The Woman she used to be.
As someone that's fighting depression and going through therapy, this song really hits me different.
Same! We'll make it through this - one day after the other.
I hope it’s gonna be okay, stay strong - one day after the other ! Take care of yourself!
Same , this song gives u strength, stay strong n take it easy on yourself and keep fighting back 💖🙏
Been on a 4-year journey through depression. I can tell you now that I'm closer to the other side of it, that you do get parts of your old self back - it's not gone forever. You learn to be happy again. Some of the old you gets mixed in with some of the new, and you become a different, but good, new version of you. Sending love to you on your journey.
Same here keep swimming 💪
Oh what a beautiful song that speaks to so many of us women... thank you WOW
what does it matter if its women what about men. huh? I HATE FEMINIST
are you OK ... this song speaks to me as a woman.... nothing bloody feminist about my comment... grow up
"to women" nothing about people in general I'm just saying this could speak to men too. Your using harsh words for nothing, i'm fine thanks for asking, but honey how are you?
I am fine.... my comment did not say the song didn't speak to men but as I am not 'a man' I did not speak for them... when you read more than there is into someones comments,and say you HATE feminists ..(which is pretty harsh considering a feminists wants fairness and equality for both sexes), that speaks volumes about how fine you are... and I was great until you decided to attack my comment for being something it wasn't .. have a great day... :) I just love the song as it speaks to ME as a woman and I know it speaks to many of my friends I have shared it with... if it speaks to you that's GREAT too ..
oh do stop. this song is about a woman, it's about women. women identify with it, no person said men can't. troll elsewhere and leave her to enjoy this song.
This is one of my favorite English songs. I hate who I am right now and I wish I could go back and pursue all my interests. I used to enjoy so many things, but now all I can do is watch as my life ends before it had a chance to begin.
❤ I’m not sure how to respond to your post except to say my heart is with you, as are my prayers.
You are in my thoughts. Sending you love.
I'm praying my granddaughter comes back to her family that is her biggest fan club. Rooting for my grandbabies is my life purpose her on this realm. God leading the way to break generational curses of oppression from narcissist, rise my child you are of godly blood, RISE to your inner power within. We will stand beside you in your battles.
So damn amazing
OMG! I know you!
Leroy Sanchez and so are you
Leroy Sanchez Ikr
Leroy Sanchez I have a KZhead channel. I sing covers also... you should check it out and tell me what you think. I would really mean a lot coming from a person of great talent such as yourself!!
SOOO when are you gonna cover this song?!?
This is the one of the most amazing and beautiful songs that I've ever heard!
True
Agreed!
very true
Today I do not miss such 'songwriters'.......I miss those who would have viewed such writers.......the ones who would have appreciated such........This country of ours remains in such a divide and missing how such letters could bring such Shared Emotions ........such wasted emotions to fight such shared EMOTION ........but, whatever it may be.........
This song speaks volumes to me about how I feel about myself. So beautiful
Mental illness hurt me, but it will not destroy me. Thank you for giving my hurt a voice, Sara.
Well said and true

You got that right. Stay strong sister friend.
Stay strong :)
You are strong. You are beautiful. Nothing can bring you down. 😚
