Alex sings at Karaoke night about Maggie

"Your coming Lena I don't care what you say, you don't even have to sing." Kara insisted. Lena couldn't say no to her even if she tried. "Fine but I'm not singing!!" Lena sighed.

It's not simple to say
Most days I don't recognize me
But these shoes and this apron, that place and its patrons
Have taken more than I gave them

Alex got up on the stage. The karaoke guy asked what she was singing. "Number 32." She replied too which he said "good choice"! "She's imperfect, but she tries, she is good, but she lies, she is hard on herself , she is broken and she won't ask for help, she is messy, but she's kind, she is lonely most of the time, she is all mixed up in this beautiful pie, she is gone.." Alex paused her voice cracking so she took a sip of the whiskey in her hand. "but she used to be mine." Alex finished the song tears streaming down her face. Kara knew, Lena knew, James and Winn knew, Lucy knew, fuck it Cat Grant on the other side of the world knew. They all knew it was about Maggie.

She is messy, but she's kind
She is lonely, most of the time
She is all this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie
She is gone, but she used to be mine
