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]
I loved this song the minute I heard it. It's powerful, speaks volumes, and is evidence of pure genius. The Lauryn Hill and Mary J. Blige vocals blend together so well and make for an incredible listen.
i keep commenting on all of lauryns songs but this one really is great. lyrically its very strong (and i think she wrote it, which is always admirable on such a great track) but just generally its a good song. so much passion too. does anyone know who is featured on the track? it sounds like she's singing with someone else possibly erykah badu or someone like that. 'tis good whatever though :)
