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


why is this me

[laceylambert]

Sara is literally one of the most underrated artists and totally deserves more... straight facts

[cheddierxx]

This song literally makes you remember the old version of yourself that you lost. May we all find ourselves again, in the perfect time ❤️

My Mom introduced me to this song, she said it reminded her of me, I suffer from Lupus, PTSD, but I always try to hide the bad times, I joke and make others laugh so they won't wonder if I'm okay. No one really understands me or my issues, just myself

This is from Waitress, a movie that is based around a lady that works at a cafe. She bakes the pies, and also has a life of her own. Her husband, instead of loving her, he uses and beats her. She then falls in love with another man. But when she realizes she's pregnant, she has no clue what to do. She never wanted the baby, and she spent the money she was going to use for a baking competition, for the needs of the baby. There is a song called 'Dear Baby' in that movie, that is supposed to be the girl telling and explaining to her Baby the sad life it was born around.

Sometimes it’s hard being a parent. Especially when raising a kid on your own. You don’t realize just how much of yourself you lost. How tired you are from doing everything on your own. And you can’t say that because you are shamed. Kids are a gift. I love my kid. He came into my life when I didn’t know I needed him to be. He gave me my strength back. Became my reason to keep fighting. I will always be grateful but I should also be able to say that even though I wouldn’t change this for the world. I’m tired. I miss the person that I use to be. But I know she is gone and I know she would be proud of who I am today.

"She is broken and won't ask for help..." <cries>

[Life-ootr]

When I was going through the hardest time of my life, thinking every day to commit suicide, I would sing to this song and long for the happy girl I once was. Years passed, I find myself happy again, and now I sing this song thinking about the girl who once was depressed and needed help. I sing for that part of me and grateful that I never took my life.

[voodoomistris]

This is my anthem for survival of narcissistic abusers. I miss me. I am so grateful for Sarah’s words. To all of us who have lost ourselves…. We are still beautiful and we are stronger than the girl we lost.

So who's up for a good old fashioned sit around and cry together? 💕

*two years later* Do y'all wanna start a group chat, because we all seem to be under the agreement that we need friends-

[rissamitch]

Its already 2021 but here I am still listening to this song ...who’s the same here??🙋

Edit: Yepp now its 2022 y'all. Hope everyone is safe and healthy

Edit: have been late but its 2023. It's been a stressful year for me lately but still fighting. Hope everyone's still fighting for their lives too. Remember that our life is precious. Let's make our lives worthy

As a person who has server depression, high anxiety and strong ADHD, tried 3 times suicide, I can relate to the lyrics very well.

[Ritercrazy]

She's still there. She's still yours and deserves the honor of your tears. Every single one of them. And they all help her heal and not be lost.

[ayale]

She is lonely most of the :( hits me hard

[izzysomeone]

"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 and ending or two.
For the girl that I knew." *...Never heard anything more relatable and that is an understatement.*

[Homemadesweetiepie]

I used to be this happy girl that believed in fairytales and happily ever after.
Wow have the times changed

[poppyjenkins]

She is lonely most of the time

I feel this, especially at school. Despite being filled with a thousand and some students, it’s hard to think that you almost feel invisible.

[yunakim]

I'm singing the chorus in my bedrooms while crying, my mom suddenly get in and hug me, she says“ everything will be alright dear, let go of saddest thing that you feel to me, I will be right here for you" and I wake up and just realized it's all just a dream😢😢

[monsieurbacteria]

Were all not depressed or suicidal. We just wanna be able to close our eyes and feel alright :)

[itsybitsyphee]

I really feel for this song. I wasn't aware that I have changed to a person I despise but in reality I cannot deny. I hate it when I realized I have changed. The girl I used to be, before this shenanigans happened, is the one I wished I can stay to be.
