Day I Found Myself
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's probably a lot of you girls out there hung up on a man
And you're caught up in that old familiar way
of wanting someone who 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.
Hmm! Well, girls... I was in that weaken boat on troubled waters for years
And believe me, I've been through it all but this fool got wise.
I remember the man I used to love, I thought I loved.
He used to treat me in any old way,
but still I love 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've found my new beginning.
I just wish he was here, so I could tell him.
As I looked back on the day you left me
I felt that love 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
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
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
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
[interlude]
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
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 you only hurt yourself
I'm so glad you're gone 'cause you made me strong
Oh, bless the day you left
'Cause that's the day I found myself
The day that I lost you
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
