t'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

@@hankmoody7974 I understand your point but I gotta say, whilst this covers a sensitive topic more in depth than hamilton had time to do (bc of the nature of the show), one being good doesnt negate the other. Hamilton also moved and ‘scared’ a lot of people, but ultimately I feel that the different styles and pace of the songs of both musicals are meant for audiences with different tastes. I like waitress for what it is, but the songs didnt move me as much as hamiltons did when i first heard them, because I just couldnt attach myself to the music as much. Its worth saying that regardless of musical preference, hamilton objectively covered ‘scary’ topics like death, betrayal, unrequited love and inadequacy. But imo even if it hadnt done any of these, you cant deny a catchy soundtrack and good story telling lol

The first time I heard this song I broke down in tears. Because I'm a 65 year old woman that has gone through hell and back and the hell and back again many times and yes somebody does come through the back door and carves out of person that makes you believe that this is you when someday you look back and oh my God you really do miss that person you used to be you realize she's gone and she's never coming back and you do look in the mirror and you don't recognize yourself, this is why I busted out in tears. This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written about a woman I really do believe that every woman has experienced this song one way or the other but when you're old and gray and your children grown and they look at you and say I miss myMom. And the only thing you can say back is I miss her too. But life has carved out a lovely lady that is baked in a beautiful pie, when I smile at my family it says it all. So I thank you Sarah for writing such a gorgeous and truthful song. 🎶🎶😘 And by the way. I'm still here.!!!!!!😏

The way she says pie at 3:08 breaks me. After building up this whole emotional breakdown throughout the song that peaks as she’s belting, it’s as if she’s realized that the person she was really is gone, and in a way she’s come to terms with the fact that she’s changed. All she can do now is cry because the person she used to be is never coming back.

She delivered so much emotion in this performance. Not just through the singing but also the body language especially the fumbling around like someone utterly heartbroken and lost. Good God, what a talent!!

Tears. She captured the spirit of a hurt, and scared pregnant women and delivered it in a physical form. This is one of my favorite songs.

I'm 25 years old now, second born. For some reason, I'm seeing my mother in this song when she was 19 and pregnant with my brother (her first child) She never felt loved all her childhood, her parents were physically, mentally and emotionally unavailable. They forced her to work as a maid to provide instead of studying at a very young age, 9 yrs old. Her parents represent the lyrics "a man who can't love" I felt my mother's raw emotion from Jessie's voice, her loneliness, inner wish to rewrite her dreams, her deep pain, the cuts she'll never forget, fear for the child inside her while getting a single hope to "fight a little", and recognizing back her identity as someone who once had a fire for a beautiful future. I cried from the heart of my mom, especially for giving us the love she never received. I respect her, that's I always try my best to make her realized that we are proud of her. She is perfect to me, She's now loved and well taken care of. We are happy that we get a chance to love her back. This song is her story, in a way. This song gives HOPE and POWER to everyone out there. So THANK YOU. 🥺❤

I have heard multiple takes on this song, all of them great. But, I just love the actual lyrics themselves so much. Song have a way of expressing the feelings we sometimes can't, and I feel that is exactly what this song itself (no matter whose voice it comes from) does. Bravo to all. XO

This is better than the recording, Jessie's voice AND emotional delivery are impeccable in this performance.

she is lonely most of the time...omg the way she sang that

My favorite performance of this song, so much emotion and rawness.

Jessie absolutely floors me. That raw emotion. Chills.

No matter how many times I hear this, it always gives me goosebumps

i was at a state thespian competition and during the opening ceremony for critics choice, a small boy sang this song. it was absolutely gorgeous, and no words can describe how moved i felt. now i rarely ever cry, but after watching his performance i was bursting into tears. i’ve never listened to waitress and practically everyone who left the auditorium was in shambles. it was an absolutely stunning performance and had my troupe director wishing he was a student that went to our school. i really can’t wait to see where he gets when he’s older, hearing him sing was actually like hearing an angel. 💕

I love this song. It's like a modern version of Les Miserables's I Dreamed a Dream with a touch of Jessie's country twang. It's such poetry.

I come back to this specific video time and time again throughout the year, every time I find myself sobbing.......I've never seen this level of embodiement of character anywhere else, and that voice 😩

My favorite variation of this song

I love the vocal breaks and disconnects of the 2nd girl singing!!! Love the texture of her voice! Kinda reminds me of Alanis Morisette ❤️

I swear Muellers are just so talented

She nailed that. 😮

She is a beautiful singer. I love how I can feel the emotion. I like the part when she is singing and it almost pulls her back at 1:42 .

F*ing AMAZING from both ladies. Goosebumps.

Sara- GENIUS songwriter, fabulous voice! Jessie Mueller- Rip my heart out!!

Just listening to this is something spectacular, but watching Jessie act it out is something else. Her emotions were so powerful. I loved it. Definitely underrated.

This song always gives me the chills I love Sarah so much as a artist

Incredible! My god, that girl can sing!!! Just beautiful.

SARA THANK YOU FOR WRITING THE MOST PERFECT AND BEAUTIFUL SONG..

I can't stop watching these two gentle women!!

I’ve listened to this song so many times. The first time I really listened to the lyrics I got to “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.” I honestly started crying because of how much I relate to that part

I think I account for at least 25,000 of the views on this...and I cry every time! Jessie Mueller wrecks my heart and I love it. Hope to get to NYC to see this on stage.

March 2020 , still unbelievable.

What the ACTUAL HELL.... at 2:26 . When she says "she used to be" she took that note from deep in hell and then catapulted in to heaven when she says miiiine!!! I'm crying 😭😭😭

I didn't realize that Waitress had been turned into a musical until I heard this song and it reminded me of the Keri Russell & Nathan Fillion movie that I had seen like a nine years ago so I looked it up and behold, a musical adaptation. I was super excited because I really liked the movie, I hope to see the musical at some point ♥

Sensational singers!! Incredibly honest , convincing in their performance

Very true! I tried to sing this beautiful song and my friend played the piano, it’s not perfect but it would mean the world to me if you saw our version! 🤗❤️

Good heavens. I've heard this song so many times, but watching this just gave me the chill bumps and brought tears to my eyes. Wow. Too close to the heart. What a performance.
