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 rollin' 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 

[Chorus]
I don't want to do this anymore 
I don't want to be the reason why 
Every time I walk out the door 
I see him die a little more inside 
I don't want to hurt him anymore 
I don't want to take away his life 
I don't want to be a murderer 

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 hangin' 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 

[Chorus]

Our love 
His trust 
I might as well take a gun and put it to his head 
Get it over with 

I don't want to do this 
Anymore 
Whoa-oh 
Anymore

[Chorus]

A murderer 

No, no, no, yeah, yeah
