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
