Now I don't

I used to love him
Now I don't
Now I don't

As I look at what I've done (What I've done)
The type of life that I've lived (Life that I've lived)
How many things I pray the Father will forgive?
One situation (One situation)
Involved a young man (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
And blurried my sight
And I used to love him

I used to love him (Love him)
But now I don't
(Now I don't)
I used to love him
But now I don't
(Now I don't)

I chose the road of passion and pain (Passion and pain)
Sacrificed too much
And waited in vain
Gave up my power (Gave up my power)
Ceased being queen

Addicted to love
Like the drug of (Tell 'em), drug of a fiend
See, 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 then I just should have heeded
Misled I bled 'til the poison was gone
And out of the darkness arrived the sweet dawn

I used to love him (I used to love him)
But now I don't
(Now I don't)
I used to love him
But now I don't
(Now I don't)
(Now I don't)

Father you saved me (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
And deeper than any ocean
See my soul was weary (My soul was weary)
But now it's replenished (But now it's replenished)
Content because that part
Of my life is finished

I see him sometimes and the look in his eyes
Is one of a man who's lost treasures untold
But my heart is gold see I took back my soul
And totally let my creator control
The life which was his (The life which was his)
The life which was his (The life which was his)
To begin with

Now I don't
See I used to love him
Now I don't
Now I don't
I used to love him (But now I don't)
Now I don't

Now I don't (But now I don't)
I used to love him (But now I don't)
Now I don't
Now I don't (But now I don't)
I used to love him
Now I don't (Now I don't, don't, don't)
Now I don't (Don't, don't, don't)
I used to love him

I used to love him
But now I don't (But now I don't)
I used to love him
But now I don't
See, I used to love him
