(S)He Used To Be Mine - Sara Bareilles "Waitress" Cover

[@skatesandbooks7117]

I just broke up with my girlfriend of 9 months, it's not a long time I know but I loved her and she was my world and I gave her everything and lost myself in the process, she's long gone now but the memories in the city we met are still very much alive. And it tears me apart, I don't want to hate this city but everytime I go out I see memories of us and it kills me, I can only numb myself enough with anything and anyone I can get my hands on until the pain sets in again. This is a beautiful song.

[@caioloki]

Been there too and I know how hard it can be. Actually this song was recorded in one of those moments. Just always keep in mind that growth comes from pain and trust that time is the most powerful healer of all. It gets better!

[@peyton1254]

Same thing happened to me, she told me she had a crush on me and I didn’t know what to do so I said I did even though I didn’t. It tears me apart because I didn’t really love them and didn’t have the guts to tell them. Turns out she was cheating on me the whole time.

[@peyton1254]

Arthalyn actually I did t mean it in that way, I’m referring to me not John😂 as in not John the person writing thi- you know what yeah sure John

[@bobthetrashgoblin9354]

Thank you so much for using masculine pronouns!! This song hit me deeper than it did when I heard it with feminine pronouns because it helped me come to terms with my being a demiboy. I went from being strong internally to weak before someone could blink, but this video helped me become strong again. Thank you. This song saved my life. 😌 ~Jared DeLapp, 13

[@2legit2quit40]

This is an incredibly impressive cover! A few things in particular stood out to me. 1. Your "vocal aerobics" during the vocal runs were well controlled and felt very natural. 2. Your breath control at the start of the final iteration of the chorus showed great skill. 3. The way you would cut some notes short or start some half a beat late constantly kept me guessing and caused me to have more of an emotional investment in your performance. 4. Your reinvention of the lyrics to fit the male perspective was extremely clever and well done. Overall, this was an incredible performance. I hope one day you receive the recognition you deserve. Good on you!

[@caioloki]

thank you so much!

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 boy he's imperfect, but he tries he is good, but he lies he is hard on himself he is broken and won't ask for help he is messy, but he's kind he is lonely most of the time he is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie he is gone, but he 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 boy that I knew Who'll be reckless, just enough Who'll get hurt, but who learns how to toughen up When he's bruised and gets used by a man who can't love And then he'll get stuck And be scared of the life that's before him Meaning left every day 'til it finly reminds him To fight just a little, to bring back the fire in him eyes It's been gone, but used to be mine Used to be mine he is messy, but he's kind he is lonely most of the time he is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie he is gone, but he used to be mine

How is the meaning changed? The gender of the person the song is about changes NOTHING about the emotion behind it.

THANK YOU for fearlessly singing this as a man reflecting on himself...I've loved this song since I first heard it and its always "spoken" to me...I change the gender references (and the pregnancy reference) whenever I sing along. You delivered a gorgeous, heart rending performance....I'm so glad I found this video.

[@HabituallyObsessed]

Thank you. I haven't been able to cry for years, and last night I really, really needed to. I browsed through hundreds of videos on KZbin for hours until I stumbled upon this one, and finally, tears steamed down my face for the first time in years. It wasn't the full hour of bawling I was hoping for, but a little weep was better than nothing, so thank you.

[@Aerythraea]

I’m happy for you! I hope that the last 4 years have had some sort of positive change because of that. I’ve been trying to cry so hard for the past month, but I’ve only been able to get a single tear out so far.

[@michaelmacunfiltered667]

I'm so happy to find your cover. This song speaks so deeply to my story. I can't hear it without tearing up. I've been singing to myself with the "he" pronoun for years. Thank you.

This cover will still make me sob. The lyrics just hit home right now.

This is an amazing cover....this song hits hard. "You're not what I asked for" is something I tell myself way too often.

[@alexisvictoria3655]

This reminds me of a music teacher we had last year for some reason. He wasn't mean, although kids said he was. I thought they were VERY rude to them, whether he knew it or not. This year he ism't at our school we have another old guy for a teacher who just yells at people..

[@MsKangaroo214]

I'm crying omg your voice is a true gift!

[@EtherealShite2716]

You have a very nice voice Edit: After listening to the original song, I thought about finding a male cover of it and it lead me here, the perfect music that fits with the ending of an angst story I'm making. I rarely ever see an LGBTQ story and decided to make one myself but was having a hard time trying to find music that could inspire me. But after hearing this masterpiece, I typed away like a maniac and began to connect each scene together; piece-by-piece, this story continues.

I've always connected to this song emotionally but not quite because of the female pronouns. I'm a trans man. Only recently come to terms with that. This cover has me crying at 3 am. Truly wonderful. I love your voice and the emotion you give this song. You've got a new subscriber.

[@dqindian]

Josh Hicks I've been trying to find it as well. Did you have any luck??

[@1412mariLU]

Do you want to play it yourself? The chords are C# G# A#m F# (and in the 2nd part of the 2nd verse and chorus it's C# E A#m F# )

[@yummy1234098]

@caio loki hello?? See above^^

[@smallsignals]

1412mariLU sounds more like F7/A in that second part, not E. That chord is working as a secondary dominant leading you to Bbm (or A Sharp minor if you prefer to think of it as C Sharp Major scale).
