Unfaithful

Rihanna · 3 CD Collector's Set [2010]

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

But 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 up on 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, Oh-Oh-Oh

Oh-Whoa-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh, anymore



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



Oh, a murderer

No-No-No, Yeah, Aye-Aye-Aye
