Story of my life
Searching for the right
But it keeps avoiding me
Sorrow in my soul
'Cause it seems that wrong
Really loves my company

He's more than a man
And this is more than love
The reason that the sky is blue
The clouds are rolling in
Because I'm gone again
And to him I just can't be true

And I know that he knows I'm unfaithful
And it kills him inside
To know that I am happy with some other guy
I can see him dying

I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna be the reason why
Every time I walk out the door
I see him die a little more inside
I don't wanna hurt him anymore
I don't wanna take away his life
I don't wanna be
A murderer

I feel it in the air
As I'm doing my hair
Preparing for another date
A kiss upon my cheek
As he reluctantly
Asks if I'm gonna be out late
I say I won't be long
Just hanging with the girls
A lie I didn't have to tell
Because we both know
Where I'm about to go
And we know it very well

'Cause I know that he knows I'm unfaithful
And it kills him inside
To know that I am happy with some other guy
I can see him dying

I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna be the reason why
Every time I walk out the door
I see him die a little more inside
I don't wanna hurt him anymore
I don't wanna take away his life
I don't wanna be
A murderer

Our love, his trust
I might as well take a gun and put it to his head
Get it over with
I don't wanna do this
Anymore
Uh
Anymore

And I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna be the reason why
And every time I walk out the door
I see him die a little more inside
And I don't wanna hurt him anymore
I don't wanna take away his life
I don't wanna be
A murderer
A murderer
No no no no

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

    General Comment:reading comments on this song really makes me angry. Rihanna did not write this song. this song is not about her life, she is just singing it. are people really gonna put someone down when they don't even know what they're talking about? thats wrong.

    General Comment:the song make me realise that we must faithful...
    never be a selfish...
    think 'bout others..
    the most touchin' part in the song is
    eventhough that guy know that the girl
    unfaithful, he just kept it...
    that's called the true love........
    whatever it is, i really love this
    song......

    General Comment:Basically what this song is about is Rihanna is cheating on this guy lets say Chris Brown, and so like she is all,

    *"And I know that He knows I'm unfaithful and it kills him inside to know that I am happy with some other guy,I see him dying I don't want to do this anymore I don't want to be the reason why I don't want to hurt him anymore I don't want to take away his life I don't want to be...,a murderer"*

    So she is the saying that she is finally beginning to feel bad for cheating on Chris Brown, and that she may put him out of his misery and tell him to his face, or just leave because he already knows. So she doesn't know what to do but doesn't want to break his heart"I don't want to be a murderer",because deep down she still loves him,but she knows she's done wrong and doesn't deserve him.

    General Comment:If she's starting to feel remorseful for what she did/is doing, then maybe in the music video she should act less like she's having an orgasm... =\

    Not bad song though.
