Twisted
Eminem Feat. Skylar Grey Lyrics

You sit there stone-faced, as if I'm not here
I feel like you're ignoring me and it hurts my feelings.

Can't you see that I've been crying?
I've been crying because I feel like you're not acknowledging me.

I didn't know you'd be insane
I didn't know that you would be so difficult to deal with.

Dreams can be so deceiving
Sometimes we get our hopes up and things don't turn out the way we expect them to.

You're an itch I can't reach, a wound that won't heal
You're bothering me and causing me pain that never goes away.

The smell of skin that's burning
I feel like I'm being hurt or harmed by you in some way.

But it's true, and just say all I am to you is a
It seems like you only see me as a burden or a problem.

Pain in my neck, thorn in my side
You're causing me a lot of stress and trouble.

Stain on my blade, blood on my knife
I feel like you're making me do things that are harmful or violent.

Been dreaming of her, all of my life
I've been hoping for a certain outcome for a long time.

But she won't come true, she's just my nightmare I woke up to
I'm realizing that my dreams may not come true and that reality is harder to deal with than I thought.

She's twisted, he's a rebel, she's sick, he's hard to handle
The people in this situation are all complicated and difficult to deal with.

The worst part of all is he just don't care
The worst part of this situation is that one person doesn't seem to care about the others.

She's twisted like a rope, that is wrapped around his throat
One person is causing harm to another in some way.

But the worst part of all is she really don't give a (shit)
One person doesn't seem to care about the harm they're causing, which is the most concerning part.

Love ain't no fairytale, love is a buried nail
Love can be painful and difficult, not always happy like a fairytale.

Inside of this heart of stone, so you wanna get married? Well
I have a hard time opening up and being vulnerable, so it's difficult for me to commit to someone.

Romeo, Romeo, smokin' blow with Antonio
This line is likely referencing drug use and infidelity.

In the back alley takin' shots of whiskey and only gold
Again, this line is likely referencing drugs and alcohol.

Juliet's at the nudie bar, doin' God only knows
One of the people in this situation is engaging in behavior that is likely frowned upon.

Neither one of 'em came to see the dog and the pony show
The people involved in this situation aren't focused on supporting each other or seeing each other's needs and wants.

But a bitch is a bitch, and a horse is a horse, ain't it?
The people involved in this situation are all complicated and flawed in their own way.

Sorry, I can't afford to get your daddy's old Porsche painted
This line is likely referencing an inability to keep up with someone else's expectations or standards.

Sorry, Juliet that you embedded the sayin'
Maybe this line is referencing a sense of disappointment or betrayal in a relationship.

If a dollar makes you holler, well then I'm gettin' the short change of it
One person feels like they're not getting what they need from the relationship.

Feel like I've been asleepin' alone and lovin' this angel
One person feels like they've been alone in their struggles, despite loving someone else.

Entangled between a dream and a coma
One person feels conflicted and unsure of what to do.

Walkin' the edge of this cliff, like a sheep to it's owner
One person feels like they're being led or forced into something dangerous or harmful.

Then wake up to this fuckin' bitch with an evil persona
One person feels like they're being hurt or harmed by someone else who is being cruel or unkind to them.

Now if you say that you hate somebody and you livin' with them
If you're living with someone that you hate or feel conflicted about, it'll likely lead to more problems.

Then they pack up and leave and then you bitch about how you miss 'em
If someone you hate or feel conflicted about leaves, you may realize that you actually miss them after they're gone.

You gotta see the pattern of the blood all over the steerin' wheel
This line is likely referencing an act of violence or harm caused by someone.

Love is a cannibal ridin' a carnival carousel
Love can be overwhelming, unpredictable, and sometimes dangerous.

'Round and 'round we roll, where it stops, baby nobody knows
Love can be complicated and unpredictable, and it's hard to say where it will lead.

Some people go crazy and they lose control
Love can make people act in irrational or crazy ways.

Some people jump off, some people won't let go
Love can make people either give up or hold on too tightly, depending on the situation.

Some people say love, some people say why
Love can mean different things to different people.

Some people don't love, they just want a free ride
Some people may get into relationships for the wrong reasons, like getting something out of it instead of actually loving the other person.

The rain won't stop, it'll never dry
The emotional pain and struggle in this situation may feel never-ending.

If she's in the house of pain then love is standin' outside
If someone is hurting or struggling, love may not be able to overcome that pain or fix the situation.

But maybe I'm the twisted one that screwed this up
It's possible that I'm the one causing harm or making things worse in this situation.

So I guess this means goodbye, for now
Maybe it's best for everyone if we take a break or separate for a while.
