|
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]
