She Used To Be Mine from WAITRESS Original Broadway Cast Recording. Performed by Jessie Mueller as Jenna. Follow me! mssammiller instagr.am/mssammiller
Same. I've been a fan of Sara for a long time, but when i went into this musical, I didn't know she wrote it.. I kinda recognized her style, but I couldn't put my finger on it till this song
"If I'm honest, I know, I would give it all back for a chance to start over, and rewrite an ending or two." I wish those words didn't speak to me so much.
Me too... wanted to see it SO bad i vey nearly flew to New York to see Sara Bareille/Jason Mraz - they did it for 6 weeks in January :-( Gutted i missed it
She Used to Be Mine Sara Bareilles Lyrics 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
I tried to listen to this song and You Matter to Me after seeing it on Broadway (I saw it a few weeks ago without knowing many of tue songs), and I honestly couldn't because I just got chills and started crying like I did when I saw it live. Now excuse me while I torture myself more because I absolutely love these songs
(I'm late sorry but still) My new hobby is texting my crush WHO IS MY BEST FRIEND AND HAS A GIRLFRIEND AND OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T LIKE ME BACK with a sad look on my face to this song
I know it's a good song and all, but it's the only song that can make me cry while singing it. Yea i bawled when i listened to its quiet uptown, but this song has another level of relatability. Lol if thats even a word
When I first heard this song I thought she was gay but got stuck with a man and a baby and now listening to the whole soundtrack I realize that's not the case and well I feel stupid I-
The World From A New Perspective Same here haha. I just started listening to all the songs without context and guessing what they’re about :p I want to watch the full musical now
I thought the same thing except I thought the girl she had a crush on was in a abusive relationship and so was she. I didn’t think she was talking about herself in 3rd person perspective.
Isabela Figueroa a waitress named Jenna has two amazing best friends who work with her at Joes Pie Diner. She has a terrible husband and a baby on the way and an adorable affair
Hi Samantha, I wanted to say thank you so much for the entire cast album of Waitress with lyrics...your videos helped me learn the entire show and role of Jenna, and I made this video as a result: czcams.com/video/FFACCZlVbSc/video.html I really appreciate the time you took to put the lyrics over the songs. So helpful! If you would ever like to do a channel collab, we'd be interested in doing a video for you. I love theatre and pop music, grew up doing theatre and have been a pop songwriter for 15 years. Anyway thank you again for your videos!!
Skia Kardia Basically the musical is about Jenna, the waitress who sung this song, who has an abusive husband and an unplanned pregnancy. In this number she was lamenting the person she used to be and how much she had forgotten herself because you know, life, but now she has a baby on the way and is trying to find herself again. Watch the musical! There's a copy here in youtube. It's really good and the songs are awesome :)
The Waitress, only musical that can make you cry over pie!
Your profile picture is amazing. Just had to put that out there.
until they make a musical version of Titus Andronicus...
the high pitched/voice crack thang that happens at "toughen up" is so so good
Amy Hunter it gets me every time that and the one in words fail from dear Evan Hansen.
StopTheMadness23 same I always sing that part
Music teacher here lol she switching from chest to head voice ;) so so good
There will be a day when this song doesn't make me cry. Today is not that day.
Agreed :'(
"I'll be alright, just not tonight"
-Sara Bareilles
LOTR reference?
Damn you're tough.
I'd never be that bold to assume I'll never cry while listening to this lmao.
Everyday is that day to me...
I'm officially melting. This song is the most beautiful to have graced Broadway in the last year.
Bolin Dai more like in the history of the universe!!!!!
Her voice is so hypnotic. It's beautiful.
Ikr. I'm convinced she's a siren.
Ms GarlicBread lmao
I had heard this song before and never knew it was from this show. This was a pleasant surprise
Emily Y
Same!
Sara Bareilles wrote all the songs for the show, but she couldn't just give them up without recording the songs herself first and releasing them.
Same. I've been a fan of Sara for a long time, but when i went into this musical, I didn't know she wrote it.. I kinda recognized her style, but I couldn't put my finger on it till this song
Emily Y Me too!
Emily Y same
Had tears streaming down my face in the theater during this.
Jessie is so good that I expected to hear applause right after the song ended
"If I'm honest, I know, I would give it all back for a chance to start over, and rewrite an ending or two." I wish those words didn't speak to me so much.
Every time i hear this i want to cry, she puts so much emotion into this!! This is why Jesse Mueller will forever be a queen!!
I so want to see this. Please come to the UK!
Declan Munro yes i agree it needs to come to the UK, please!!! I would give so much to see it
PLEASE
it's coming to west end this spring according to the website
Me too... wanted to see it SO bad i vey nearly flew to New York to see Sara Bareille/Jason Mraz - they did it for 6 weeks in January :-( Gutted i missed it
And now its coming!!!!
This song gives me chills each time I listen. Amazing emotional performance by Jessie Mueller.
I'm obsessed with this song
How on Earth didn't she get a Tony for this performance?
(yeah, I know Cynthia's great and all, but I still think that Jessie was better)
I'm just waiting for that perfect world where multiple people can win tonys in the same category and year
She Used to Be Mine
Sara Bareilles
Lyrics
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
Veronica Sawyer thanks but the lyrics are in the vid
Veronica Sawyer
Thank you! But the lyrics are in the video dear'
Veronica Sawyer did you marry a lawyer
Veronica Sawyer? That’s not the right musical!
Veronica Sawyer oh thanks not like it says the lyrics or anything

I'm trying to hear this song without crying and I'm failing at it.
Absolutely perfect! There's no other words to express her talent. A true star if there ever was one!
My new hobby is doing everyday things with a sad look on my face to this song
(I'm late sorry but still)
My new hobby is texting my crush WHO IS MY BEST FRIEND AND HAS A GIRLFRIEND AND OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T LIKE ME BACK with a sad look on my face to this song
I can listen to this all day
I cried so much with this...
This musical is emotionally devastating
the Live version is 1000000x better, but I love jessie :D
This song makes me cry because I relate
Don't be sad, here's a 🍪
I saw this live and basically everyone was crying
I can't believe Jessie Mueller is leaving the cast in April :/
Brooke C I know so sad. But I'm glad that I got to see her.
Brooke C Sara Bareilles will take her place. should also be really good.
Brooke C Betsy Wolfe is absolutely phenomenal as well. I just saw the show over the weekend
love love this show! and this song just hits so bad coz its so good!
If I were to rank her voice it would be in S tier
Why??? Havent??? I listened??? To this??? Before??!
I know it's a good song and all, but it's the only song that can make me cry while singing it. Yea i bawled when i listened to its quiet uptown, but this song has another level of relatability. Lol if thats even a word
Definitely not crying... *sniff* *sniff*

The World From A New Perspective Same here haha. I just started listening to all the songs without context and guessing what they’re about :p I want to watch the full musical now
@@crempt same I reallyyyyy want to see the show
I didn't understand a thing so I had to read the synopsis pfft
I thought the same thing except I thought the girl she had a crush on was in a abusive relationship and so was she. I didn’t think she was talking about herself in 3rd person perspective.
Am I the only one that hasn't cried ONCE during the whole thing? Every song? Not even close to crying.
64!! Katie and Erin !!46 Same! The only song I’ve ever cried to was It’s Quiet Uptown
Theatre Nerd based on what you just said I can tell that you have horrible taste in everything.
Liking Hamilton means you have horrible taste in everything?
Sounds judgemental but okay.
Is no one gonna mention your name is literally "teary" ???
If you want to cry during the whole thing of something then watch les mis, either on dvd or on stage!!!
i LOVE this song
This is my first time listening to waitress and o haven't cried yet but that usually happens the second time
Moonroasted - Esmé Veda That is so true, it hurts the second time.
This.is.beautiful!!
Lord have mercy!!! Her rendition is so good!!!!! I just put her above Sarah Barrilles and slightly below Alison Luff ...barely.
yes i kin this song
yes i only kin the lyrics and not really its meaning
we exist
Can't wait to hear Katherine McPhee sing this song.
Welp, here come the tears
I'm new to this musical, what exactly is this dog about?
Isabela Figueroa a waitress named Jenna has two amazing best friends who work with her at Joes Pie Diner. She has a terrible husband and a baby on the way and an adorable affair
Perfection
This song is so powerful 🔥🤩😍🥧💖
Quick question: Did they cut the southern accents for the show?
Nope! :)
Jessie Mueller i love you
She is gone, but i still wish she was mine 💔 😕

zipzapkpop Thanks! I'm definitely interested in this musical!
Skia Kardia
Have you heard it?
This is amazing
Jeez! Now that I read the lyrics...
Its a song about every woman
is she pregnant? he. because it looked like she was at the Tonys?
she is in the show
Linda
Does this song remind anyone of Taylor Swifts old (good) country songs
WHAT IS IT ABOUT THIS SONG
2:17 👺
But who is she? Herself? Her mother?
Tragic Triggers Herself.
Both
i would say
freak you up
but hey
i just did
I don’t get who she is sing to? To herself? Someone explain please
kopec82 She’s not singing to anyone? Some
songs in musicals are just to convey a character’s emotions to the audience.
Herself and her baby.
She's singing to her baby about her and her mother's story
its more like an inner monologue its not really meant to sing directly to anyone
Anyone here after watching Luke Islam on AGT?!😭
bad songs
okay then.
"Bad songs" my a**!
Screw you
I'm sure you listen to modern rap music in your spare time. 🙄 If that were the case, you wouldn't know a good song if it hit you across the face.
