Unfaithful
The Envy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was a rock for you
I never stopped for you
When your world crashing down
I was there for you
But it never was enough
I found someone else to love.

I was a stone for you
I built a home for you
When it all came crashing down
I was there for you
But it never was enough
I found someone else to love

Maybe I'm unfaithful
but your so ungrateful
of the love that I gave

Where were you last night
as I held her tight
till the morning light
I can't live this live
Unfaithful

I was a sheild for you
I was made of steel for you
When trouble came around
I fought for you
But it never was enough
I found someone else to love

Maybe I'm unfaithful
but you're so ungrateful
of the love that I gave

Where were you last night
as I held her tight
till the morning light
I can't live this life
unfaithful

I never had your trust
you never gave enough
so I'm packing up my stuff
I found someone else to love
If it's easier on you
then go on tell the world
that I'm unfaithful

I was a rock for you
but it never was enough
I found someone else to love

Maybe I'm unfaithful
but your so ungrateful
of the love that I gave
Where were you last night
as I held her tight
until the morning light
I can't live this life
I can't live this life




Where were you last night
Unfaithful

Overall Meaning

The Envy's song Unfaithful is a heart-wrenching portrayal of a broken relationship with one partner feeling unappreciated and undervalued despite their unwavering loyalty and support. The lyrics paint a picture of a devoted partner who was always there for their significant other through thick and thin. They were the rock, the shield, and the stone for their partner, but it was never enough. The significant other seemed to take their love for granted, and as a result, the partner found someone else to love. The chorus "Maybe I'm unfaithful, but you're so ungrateful of the love that I gave" reflects the partner's inner turmoil of feeling guilty for moving on from the toxic relationship.


The verses of the song highlight specific moments where the significant other failed to appreciate the loyalty and support given by their partner. They were not there when the partner needed them, and the partner finally gave up on the relationship. The lines "I never had your trust, you never gave enough, so I'm packing up my stuff, I found someone else to love" shows that the partner moved on as the significant other never really trusted or appreciated them. The final words "Unfaithful" are a powerful punctuation mark indicating the finality of the relationship.
