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
