I Used To Love Him - Lauryn Hill
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
