Another Anthem to My Life

So I'm listening to my last.fm playlist on shuffle and this song comes on... and I thought to myself... this is the anthem...my anthem. I remember listening to this back in the day when I broke up with my first long term boyfriend. It always seems to apply. I get caught up in the fantasy of getting married and being someone's wife and lose myself completely... something I'm not going to let happen again. I'm hoping to break the cycle this time.

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
..............................
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
..............................
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
..............................
I used to love him but now I don't…
