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



Hes more than a man

and this is more than love

the reason that this guy is blue

the 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

Everytime 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 day

A kiss up on my cheek

He's here reluctantly

as if I'm gonna be out late

I say I won't be long

Just hanging with the girls

A liar 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

Everytime 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



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 (anymore)



I don't wanna do this anymore

I don't wanna be the reason why

Everytime 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 (a murderer)

OK -- I personally HATE this song.

Maybe it's hitting too close to home for me (BH).

because I'm gone again

and to him I just can't be true


Whadda you mean you "CAN'T be true" to your husband/boyfriend? Can't implies you have no choice -- the WS ALWAYS has a choice. They choose to have an affair.

For me, the pain of this thought, that somehow my wife can't be true to me (or anyone) is killing me.

And then there's the whole:

Quote
I don't wanna do this anymore


THEN STOP! No one has a gun to your head -- if you know you are causing someone you love/care about pain then STOP.

I know my reaction may be over the top, but my WW and I chose to not tell our children (16 and 17) yet about her affairs. They play this song in their car (when I'm riding with them) and I struggle with how to get it to another song without letting them know it hurts me to hear it. I shared this with my WW and she thinks I'm being a bit childish, but she has helped change the station.

Yes, they are powerful lyrics. Just too powerful for me at this time.

Sorry for the rant.

Sorry, I wasn't implying it was about you. If you are a Betrayed Spouse then I guess you have some of the same reaction I do when reading the lyrics.

It seems to be a gross rationalization of why she HAS to cheat on her man -- "I can't help myself", "It's not you, it's me", etc.

I hate to hear it so mainstream.

Sorry for the over-enthusiastic response.
