Suicide
Rihanna · Other Songs - Rihanna
Everywhere is still
everything is restless in my heart
i hate the way this feels
suddenly i'm scared to be apart
the days are dark when you're not around
the air is getting hard to breathe
i wish that you would just put me down
i wish that i could go to sleep
loving you is suicide
i don't know should go or should i stay
i'm tryna to keep myself alive
knowing there's a chance it's all too late
but i heard you say you love me
that's the part i can't forget
and i wish that you come save me
cos i'm standing over the edge
i should let you go
tell myself the things i need to hear
but my brain is why you're wrong
that's why i'm loving you when you're not here
feels like i drown in your every word
and every breath that's in between
somehow you got me where it really hurts
it's killing every part of me
loving you is suicide
i don't know should go or should i stay
i'm tryna to keep myself alive
knowing there's a chance it's all too late
but i heard you say you love me
that's the part i can't forget
and i wish that you come save me
boy cos i'm standing over the edge
loving you is suicide
and my world's about to break
and i... had as much as i can take
and love is a long way down
loving you is suicide
and it's getting harder everyday
i'm tryna to keep myself alive
knowing there's a chance it's all too late
and i'm way past every moment
but i'm still determined to fight
and i know it's taking all my strength
to give emotions alive
loving you is suicide
everything is restless in my heart
i hate the way this feels
suddenly i'm scared to be apart
the days are dark when you're not around
the air is getting hard to breathe
i wish that you would just put me down
i wish that i could go to sleep
loving you is suicide
i don't know should go or should i stay
i'm tryna to keep myself alive
knowing there's a chance it's all too late
but i heard you say you love me
that's the part i can't forget
and i wish that you come save me
cos i'm standing over the edge
i should let you go
tell myself the things i need to hear
but my brain is why you're wrong
that's why i'm loving you when you're not here
feels like i drown in your every word
and every breath that's in between
somehow you got me where it really hurts
it's killing every part of me
loving you is suicide
i don't know should go or should i stay
i'm tryna to keep myself alive
knowing there's a chance it's all too late
but i heard you say you love me
that's the part i can't forget
and i wish that you come save me
boy cos i'm standing over the edge
loving you is suicide
and my world's about to break
and i... had as much as i can take
and love is a long way down
loving you is suicide

and i'm way past every moment
but i'm still determined to fight
and i know it's taking all my strength
to give emotions alive
loving you is suicide
Suicide - Rihanna
Released in 2012 as the opening track on her album Unapologetic, "Suicide" serves as a bold declaration of self-empowerment and resilience. The song features Rihanna's signature falsetto and a driving, rhythmic production that establishes the album's confident tone. Thematically, it explores the concept of overcoming personal struggles and the courage required to move forward, positioning Rihanna as a figure of strength rather than victimhood. As a lead single, it effectively introduced the sonic direction of the era, blending pop sensibilities with a raw, unapologetic attitude that became a defining characteristic of her work during this period.
