I Used To Love Him Lyrics - The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill - 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
