[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] I feel it in the air as I'm doin' 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 [Pre-Chorus] '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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 Whoa Anymore [Chorus] 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 [Outro] A murderer, no, no, no Yeah
