Day I Found Myself

Lyrics

[Intro] There's probably a lot of you girls out there Hung up on a man And you're caught in that old familiar way Of wanting someone that don't want you You know, men are full of schemes And they're masters of getting control of our minds And making us dependent on them Hm, well, girls I was in that weakened boat on troubled waters for years And believe me, I've been through it all But this fool got wise I remember a man I used to love— I thought I loved And he used to treat me any old way But, still, I loved the ground he walked on I was blind as a bat and I couldn't see for looking And when he left, I thought my world ended But you know, time soon healed my wounds And I found a new beginning I just wish he was here so I could tell him [Verse 1] As I look back to the day you left me I felt that life had forsaken me As time went by, tears began to dry Now I see you never really cared Life is wonderful when love is shared [Chorus] The day that I lost you That's the day I found myself The day that I lost you That's the day I found myself [Verse 2] Your love controlled, but never consoled me I was in love, but so unhappy So many nights I was in the cold When you left, you opened up the door To a world I'd never seen before [Chorus] The day that I lost you That's the day I found myself The day that I lost you That's the day I found myself [Verse 3] I found love with someone who needs me I'm loving life the way it should be I gave you love, you only used me And when you left, you hurt yourself I found identity with someone else [Chorus] The day that I lost you That's the day I found myself The day that I lost you That's the day I found myself (Don't you know that) The day that I lost you (You only hurt yourself) That's the day I found myself (I'm so glad you're gone, 'cause you made me strong, oh) The day that I lost you (Bless the day you left) That's the day I found myself ('Cause that's the day I found myself, ooh) The day that I lost you That's the day I found myself (That's the day that I found myself, you better believe it now) The day that I lost you That's the day I found myself
