I Used to Love Him (feat. Mary J. Blige)

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 (The type of life that I have lived)

How many things I pray the father will forgive

One situation involved a young man (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 and blurred my sight

And I used to love him

I used to love him but now I don't

Now I don't (Not now)

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, ceased being queen

Addicted to love like the 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 mama said no, I just should have heeded

Misled I bled till the poison was gone

And out of the darkness arrived the sweet dawn

Now I don't

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

Father, you saved me and you 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 but now it's replenished

Content, because that part of my life is finished

I see him sometimes and I look in his eyes

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, the life which was his

The life which was his to begin with

Now I don't

See, 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

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

I used to love him but now I don't

I used to love him but now I don't
