Love The Way You Lie
Eminem(에미넴) Lyrics

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn But that's alright, because I like the way it hurts Just gonna stand there and hear me cry But that's alright, because I love the way you lie I love the way you lie
The singer is in a toxic and abusive relationship but cannot help but be drawn to their partner's destructive behavior. They find comfort in the pain and emotional turmoil of the relationship.

I can't tell you what it really is I can only tell you what it feels like And right now there's a steel knife, in my windpipe I can't breathe, but I still fight, while I can fight As long as the wrong feels right, it's like I'm in flight High off of love drunk from my hate It's like I'm huffing paint and I love it the more that I suffer I suffocate and right before I'm about to drown She resuscitates me, she fucking hates me, And I love it, wait
The singer describes feeling trapped and suffocated in their relationship. They are addicted to the emotional highs and lows, and their partner's tendency to hurt them and then bring them back. It is a toxic cycle that they cannot seem to escape.

Where you going, I'm leaving you No you ain't, come back We're running right back, here we go again It's so insane 'cause when it's going good, it's going great I'm Superman, with the wind at his back, she's Lois Lane But when it's bad, it's awful I feel so ashamed, I snapped, who's that dude I don't even know his name, I laid hands on her I'll never stoop so low again, I guess I don't know my own strength
The singer is caught in a toxic cycle with their partner, where they constantly break up and make up. When things are good, they feel like they are on top of the world, but when things go bad, they spiral out of control and become abusive towards their partner.

You ever love somebody so much You can barely breathe, when you're with them, you meet And neither one of you, even know what hit 'em, Got that warm fuzzy feeling, yeah them chills, used to get 'em Now you're getting fucking sick, of looking at 'em You swore you've never hit 'em, never do nothing to hurt 'em, Now you're in each others face, Spewing venom, and these words, when you spit 'em You push, pull each other's hair, scratch, claw, bit 'em, Throw 'em down, pin 'em, so lost in the moments, when you're in 'em It's the rage that's the culprit, it controls you both So they say it's best, to go your separate ways, Guess that they don't know ya 'cause today, that was yesterday Yesterday is over, it's a different day Sound like broken records, playin' over, but you promised her Next time you'll show restraint You don't get another chance, Life is no Nintendo game, but you lied again Now you get to watch her leave, Out the window, guess that's why they call it window pane
The artist reflects on how their once-loving relationship has turned into a violent and toxic one, characterized by verbal and physical abuse. They acknowledge that it is time to move on from the relationship, despite the intense emotions that still exist between them.

Now I know we said things, did things That we didn't mean and we fall back into the same patterns Same routine, but your temper's just as bad, as mine is You're the same as me, but when it comes to love, you're just as blinded Baby please come back, it wasn't you, Baby it was me, maybe our relationship isn't as crazy as it seems Maybe that's what happens When a tornado meets a volcano All I know is I love you too much, to walk away now Come inside, pick up your bags off the sidewalk Don't you hear sincerity, in my voice when I talk, Told you this is my fault, look me in the eyeball Next time I'm pissed, I'll aim my fist at the dry wall Next time, there will be no next time I apologize even though I know it's lies I'm tired of the games, I just want her back, I know I'm a liar If she ever tries to fucking leave again I'm a tie her to the bed and set this house on fire
The artist attempts to take responsibility for their toxic behavior and asks their partner to come back, promising that they will change. However, their words are hollow and they cannot control their violent temper, threatening their partner if they try to leave again.
