Love The Way You Lie
Eminem et Rihanna Lyrics

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
You are watching me suffer and do nothing about it.

But that's alright because I like the way it hurts
I find pleasure in the pain because it's familiar to me.

Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
You are listening to me cry and not doing anything to help me.

But that's alright because I love the way you lie
I am willing to accept your lies because it means you are still with me.

I can't tell you what it really is
I can only describe how it makes me feel.

I can only tell you what it feels like
My emotions are intense and overwhelming.

And right now there's a steel knife in my windpipe
I feel trapped and suffocating in this relationship.

I can't breathe but I still fight
Even though I feel like I am drowning, I am still trying to survive.

While I can fight, as long as the wrong feels right, it's like I'm in flight
I am aware that this relationship is toxic, but I cannot leave because it feels like it's the right thing to do.

High of a love, drunk from my hate
I experience intense highs and lows in this relationship.

It's like I'm huffing paint and I love it the more that I suffer
I am addicted to the pain that this relationship brings me.

I suffocate
This relationship is suffocating me emotionally.

And right before I'm about to drown
I feel like I am at my breaking point.

She resuscitates me
However, you always manage to pull me back in when I am about to leave.

She fucking hates me
You hate me because of what I have done to you.

And I love it, wait where you going?
Despite it all, I cannot stand the idea of losing you.

I'm leaving you
You have finally decided to leave me.

No, you ain't come back
I am aware that this time, you will not come back to me.

We're running right back
Despite this, I still hope that we can reconcile and make things work again.

Here we go again
Our cycle of breaking up and making up continues.

It's so insane 'cause when it's going good it's going great
Our love is intense and passionate, but it's also unpredictable and unstable.

I'm Superman
I feel invincible when I am with you.

With the wind in his bag
I feel like I can conquer anything in life when I am with you.

She's Lois Lane
You are my partner in this intense and destructive relationship.

But when it's bad it's awful
Our relationship takes a turn for the worse and becomes impossible to handle.

I feel so ashamed
I crumble in shame over what I have done to you.

I snap
I give in to my anger and let it consume me.

Who's that dude?
I am so blinded by my rage that I do not even recognize myself anymore.

I don't even know his name
I do things that I never thought I was capable of.

I laid hands on her
I became violent and hurt you physically.

I'll never stoop so low again
I promise to never hurt you in that way again.

I guess I don't know my own strength
I am not aware of the destructive power that my anger holds.

You ever love somebody so much
Have you ever loved someone so intensely?

You can barely breathe when you're with them, you meet
They take your breath away every time you see them.

And neither one of you
You and your partner are equally infatuated with each other.

Even know what hit 'em
You both realize that your love has taken you by surprise.

Got that warm fuzzy feeling
You feel warm and fuzzy inside every time you think about them.

Yeah, them chills used to get 'em
You used to get chills every time they touched you.

Now you're getting fucking sick of looking at 'em
However, you are now tired of being with them and everything they represent.

You swore you've never hit 'em, never do nothing to hurt 'em
At the beginning of the relationship, you made promises to never hurt them.

Now you're in each other's face
However, both of you are now confrontational and aggressive towards each other.

Spewing venom and these words when you spit 'em
You say hurtful things to each other when you argue.

You push, pull each other's hair
Your physical fights have escalated to the point where you are pulling each other's hair.

Scratch, claw, bit 'em, throw 'em down, pin 'em
You become more and more violent towards each other.

So lost in the moments
You become so consumed by your anger that you lose sight of what is important.

When you're in 'em, it's the rage that took over
Your rage takes over and makes it impossible to think rationally.

It controls you both
Your anger controls both you and your partner, causing irreparable damage.

So they say it's best to go your separate ways
People around you advise you to break up and move on from each other.

Guess that they don't know ya 'cause today, that was yesterday
However, they don't understand the complexities of your relationship and what you truly mean to each other.

Yesterday is over, it's a different day
Despite this, you know that your relationship needs to change for the better.

Sound like broken records playin' over
Both of you are repeating the same patterns and mistakes over and over again.

But you promised her
You know that you have broken your promises to your partner.

Next time you'll show restraint
You promise to control your anger and be more mindful of your actions.

You don't get another chance
However, you are aware that you may not get another chance to make things right.

Life is no Nintendo game, but you lied again
You are aware that real life is not as simple as a video game, but you still broke another promise.

Now you get to watch her leave out the window, guess that's why they call it window pane
You watch your partner leave, knowing that you have caused irreparable damage to your relationship.

Now I know we said things, did things that we didn't mean
You both acknowledge the hurtful things you have said and done to each other during the relationship.

And we fall back into the same patterns, same routine
Despite these acknowledgments, you both fall back into the same toxic patterns.

But your temper's just as bad as mine is
You realize that your partner is just as angry and violent as you are.

You're the same as me
Both of you have flaws that make the relationship difficult.

But when it comes to love, you're just as blinded
However, when it comes to love, you are both blinded by your intense feelings for each other.

Baby, please come back
Despite everything, you still want your partner back.

It wasn't you
You realize that the problems in your relationship were not solely your partner's fault.

Baby, it was me
You accept responsibility for your actions and the harm you have caused.

Maybe our relationship isn't as crazy as it seems
You both acknowledge that the relationship has been tumultuous and chaotic, but maybe it's not as crazy as it seems.

Maybe that's what happens when a tornado meets a volcano
Your intense and violent personalities clash and create chaos like a tornado meeting a volcano.

All I know is I love you too much
Despite everything, your love for your partner is still intense and consuming.

To walk away though
You cannot bear the thought of walking away from the relationship.

Come inside
You invite your partner back into your life and home.

Pick up your bags off the sidewalk
You want your partner to move back in with you.

Don't you hear sincerity
You are speaking to your partner with genuine sincerity and remorse.

In my voice when I talk
Your voice reflects the genuine love and remorse you feel.

Told you this is my fault
You take full responsibility for the problems in the relationship.

Look me in the eyeball
You want your partner to truly see your sincerity and remorse.

Next time I'm pissed, I'll aim my fist at the dry wall
You promise to control your anger and take it out on the drywall instead of your partner.

Next time
You know that you may not get another chance to control your anger and save the relationship.

There will be no next time
However, you are determined to never let your anger go unchecked again.

I apologize even though I know it's lies
Despite your sincerity, you are aware that your apologies might not be enough to save the relationship.

I'm tired of the games
You are tired of the constant cycle of breaking up and making up.

I just want her back
Despite all of the problems, you still want your partner back in your life.

I know I'm a liar
You acknowledge that you have lied and hurt your partner.

If she ever tries to fucking leave again, I'm 'na tie her to the bed and set the house on fire
You promise to never let your partner leave again and will resort to violence to keep them with you.

I love the way you lie
Despite all of the pain and chaos, your love for your partner remains strong.
