As I look at what I've done

The type of life that I've lived

How many things I pray the father will forgive

One situation involved a young man

He was the ocean and I was the sand

He stole my heart like a thief in the night

Dulled my senses blurred my sight



I used to love him but now I don't

I used to love him but now I don't



I chose a road of passion and pain

Sacrificed too much and waited in vain

Gave up my power ceased being queen

Addicted to love like the drug of a fiend



Torn and confused wasted and used

Reached the crossroad which path would I choose

Stuck and frustrated I waited, debated

For something to happen that just wasn't fated

Thought what I wanted was something I needed

When momma said no I just should have heeded

Misled I bled till the poison was gone

And out of the darkness arrived the sweet dawn



I used to love him but now I don't

I used to love him but now I don't



Father you saved me and showed me that life

Was much more than being some foolish man's wife

Showed me that love was respect and devotion

Greater than planets deeper than oceans

My soul was weary but now it's replenished

Content because that part of my life is finished



I see him sometimes and the look in his eye

Is one of a man who's lost treasures untold

But my heart is gold I took back my soul

And totally let my creator control

The life which was his to begin with



I used to love him but now I don't
