About This Song


This is a song about moving on, or not really being able to. We initially wrote it as if a loved one had died, but could also work in the event of a breakup.

Feedback Requested


NSAI had this to say about the song:

I felt the chorus was good for the
most part but the verses are what need another look. My deal is, she's
already gone so the wording needs to set that in the opening line. I think
you need to just paint pictures and be more conversational and real. It's not
a matter of a lonely soul. It's that finally caved in and tried to be with
someone else. Painting pictures is good but curves and amber skin aren't the
kind you need to paint. Is this the kind of girl you'd take home to momma, is
she someone you'd normally not even look at.. what type of woman is she and
why her? What made you cave in? I don't feel verse 2 is realistic. I just
don't see you truly trying to date someone or bring them around your friends.
I think this is all in the moment of that night. It's most likely a one night
stand. I think you need to dive in the fact that even though you can be with
someone else, it still just felt wrong. What exactly did you feel? What
turned you off? What exactly gave you guilt and how did you respond. Just
stay on point here.

Do you agree, disagree? Thanks!

Am I Cheating?

Written by Matt Conroy

You told me to be happy and move on when you’re gone
So last night I met another lonely soul and brought her home
As the sober sun comes streaming in
Across her curves and amber skin
I know it’s not a sin, but it feels wrong

CHORUS
To have another woman sleeping in our bed
Her unfamiliar lips against my neck
Words that turned you on
Whispered in her ear instead
This guilt I’m feeling
Am I moving on
Or am I cheating…?
Am I cheating?

I take her to our favorite bar and meet up with our friends
And they tell me how it’s wonderful to see me here again
Drunk smile plastered on my face
Hides the shame that I’ve replaced
You, and the life we had back then

Now there’s another woman sleeping in our bed...
CHORUS

FINAL CHORUS
To have another woman sleeping in our bed
Her unfamiliar lips against my neck
Words that turned you on
Whispered in her ear instead
This guilt I’m feeling
When another voice is screaming out my name
Cause no one else’s touch can drive me crazy
I’m begging for a sign
Tell me it’s okay
This guilt I’m feeling
Am I moving on
Or am I cheating?
