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)
