Unfaithful
Rihanna Lyrics

Story of my life, searching for the right
I am constantly searching for true love and happiness.

But it keeps avoiding me
Unfortunately, true love seems to elude me.

Sorrow in my soul 'cause it seems that wrong
My soul is filled with sadness because I am always drawn to the wrong type of person.

Really loves my company
Despite being wrong, these people always seem to enjoy my company and want to be with me.

He's more than a man and this is more than love
The person I am cheating with is not just any man and the connection we share is not just love.

The reason that the sky is blue
This connection is so deep that it feels like destiny or fate.

The clouds are rolling in because I'm gone again
However, every time I cheat, it feels like bad things happen in the relationship.

And to him, I just can't be true
Even though I know cheating hurts him, I cannot be loyal.

And I know that he knows I'm unfaithful
I am aware that my partner knows about my infidelity.

And it kills him inside
Knowing that I am unfaithful is eating away at him inside.

To know that I am happy with some other guy
Seeing me happy with another man only adds to his pain.

I can see him dying
I can see how much this is hurting him and I feel guilty.

I don't wanna do this anymore
I do not want to continue hurting him or being unfaithful.

I don't wanna be the reason why
I do not want to be the cause of his pain and suffering anymore.

Every time I walk out the door
Every time I leave to cheat on him, I know I am hurting him more.

I see him die a little more inside
Each time I cheat, his pain grows deeper and his spirit dies a little more.

I don't wanna hurt him anymore
I do not want to cause him any more pain.

I don't wanna take away his life
I do not want to be the reason for his emotional death and loss of happiness in life.

I don't wanna be a murderer
I do not want to be responsible for killing his spirit and the love we share.

I feel it in the air as I'm doin' my hair
As I am getting ready to leave, I can sense that my partner knows what I am doing.

Preparing for another date
I am getting ready to go on a date with someone else.

A kiss upon my cheek as he reluctantly
My partner gives me a goodbye kiss, but he is hesitant and sad.

Asks if I'm gonna be out late
He asks me if I will be out late, knowing that I will be cheating on him.

A lie I didn't have to tell
I lie to him about where I am going, even though I could have just told him the truth.

Because we both know where I'm about to go
Both my partner and I know that I am about to go cheat on him.

And we know it very well
We are both aware that this situation is not getting any better.

Our love, his trust
I am betraying the love and trust my partner has given me.

I might as well take a gun and put it to his head
By cheating on him, I am causing him the same amount of pain as if I were killing him.

Get it over with
I should just end the relationship to stop the pain.

No, no, no
I do not want to continue causing him pain or being unfaithful.

Yeah, yeah
I want to make things right and be a better partner for him.
