I Used To Love Him (from Cd Liner) Lyrics

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
[Repeat to end]
