I Use To Love Him Lyrics

Intro] 

 Now I don’t 

 I used to love him 

 Now I don’t 

 Now I don’t 

  

 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 and blurred my sight 

  

 1 - I used to love him but now I don’t 

 I used to love him but now I don’t 

  

 I chose the road of passion and pain 

 Sacrificed too much and waited in vain 

 Gave up my power ceased being queen 

 Addicted to love yeah, like the drug of 

 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 mamma said no then I just should have heeded 

 Misled I bled till the poison was gone 

 And out of the darkness arrived the sweet dawn 

  

 Repeat 1 

  

 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 and deeper than any oceans 

 See, my soul was weary but now it’s replenished 

 Content because that part of my life is finished, oh yeah 

  

 I see him sometimes and the look in his eye 

 Is one of a man whose lost treasures untold 

 But my heart is gold, see I took back my soul 

 And totally let my creator control 

 The life which was his to begin with 

  

 Repeat 1 until fade
