Love The Way You Lie
Eminen Ft. Rihana Lyrics

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
You are just going to watch me suffer and not do anything about it.

But that's alright because I like the way it hurts
It's okay that it hurts because I am addicted to the intense emotion.

Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
Again, you will just stand there and not try to help me.

But that's alright because I love the way you lie
I am in love with your lies and cannot let go of you.

I can't tell you what it really is, I can only tell you what it feels like
I cannot explain what's happening, but I can tell you how I feel.

And right now there's a steel knife in my windpipe
I feel like I am choking and cannot breathe.

I can't breathe but I still fight, while I can fight
Even though I feel like I'm suffocating, I'm still trying to fight for us.

As long as the wrong feels right it's like I'm in flight
I feel like I'm flying when I'm doing something wrong, but it feels right at the same time.

High off her love, drunk from her hate, it's like I'm huffin' paint
I am addicted to the love and hate you give me, it's like a drug.

And I love her the more I suffer, I suffocate
I love you more despite the pain and suffering you inflict on me.

And right before I'm about to drown, she resuscitates
You hurt me so much that I feel like I'm drowning, but then you come back and save me.

Me, she fucking hates me and I love it, wait
You hate me, and I love that you hate me. It's a twisted kind of love.

Where you going, I'm leaving you, no you ain't
You say you're leaving me, but I don't believe you.

Come back, we're running right back here we go again
We keep repeating the same cycle of breaking up and getting back together.

It's so insane, 'cause when it's going good it's going great
Our relationship is crazy because when things are good, they are really good.

I'm Superman with the wind at his back, she's Lois Lane
When things are good, I feel invincible like Superman and you are my Lois Lane.

But when it's bad it's awful, I feel so ashamed
When things are bad, I feel terrible about myself and what I've done.

I snapped 'who's that dude?', I don't even know his name
I became jealous and violent without even knowing who the other person was.

I laid hands on her, I'll never stoop so low again
I physically hurt you, and I promise to never do it again.

I guess I don't know my own strength
I didn't realize how strong I was, and it led me to hurt you.

You ever love somebody so much, you can barely breathe when you're with 'em
I love you so much that it's hard to function when you're not around.

You meet and neither one of you even know what hit 'em
Our love was so intense that we fell for each other without even realizing it.

Got that warm fuzzy feelin', yeah them chills used to get 'em
At first, our love made us feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Now you're gettin' fuckin' sick of lookin' at 'em
Now, I am getting tired of seeing you and our love is fading.

You'd swore you'd never hit 'em, never do nothing to hurt 'em
At the beginning of our relationship, we promised to never hurt each other.

Now you're in each others' face, spewing venom in your words when you spit 'em
Now, we are constantly arguing and saying hurtful things to each other.

You push pull each others' hair, scratch claw bit 'em
Our arguments have become physical, and we are hurting each other.

Throw 'em down pin 'em, so lost in them moments when you're in 'em
During these moments, we are so lost in our emotions that we don't realize what we're doing.

It's the rage that took over, it controls ya both
Our emotions have become so intense that they are now controlling us.

So they say you're best to go your separate ways, guess that they don't know ya
People are telling us to break up, but they don't understand our love.

'Cause today, that was yesterday, yesterday is over
We need to forget about our past and move on to the future.

It's a different day, sound like broken records playin' over
We need to change our ways and not keep repeating the same mistakes.

But you promised her, next time you'll show restraint
I promised you that I would control my anger and not hurt you again.

You don't get another chance, life is no Nintendo game
I may not get another chance to make things right, life isn't a game.

But you lied again, now you get to watch her leave out the window
I broke my promise again, and now you're leaving me.

Guess that's why they call it window pane
The sound of you leaving through the window is like the shattering of glass.

Now I know we said things, did things, that we didn't mean
We both said and did things that we did not mean.

Then we fall back into the same patterns, same routine
We keep repeating the same cycle of fighting and making up.

But your temper's just as bad as mine is, you're the same as me
We both have bad tempers and are similar in many ways.

But when it comes to love, you're just as blinded, baby please
We are blinded by our love for each other, and we need to work together to make it work.

Come back, it wasn't you, baby it was me
I am apologizing and taking the blame for our problems.

Maybe our relationship isn't as crazy as it seems
Our relationship may not be as insane as it appears to be.

Maybe that's what happens when a tornado meets a volcano
Our love is like a natural disaster, wild and destructive.

All I know is I love you too much to walk away though
Despite everything, I love you too much to give up on us.

Come inside, pick up your bags off the sidewalk
I want you to come back inside and stay with me instead of leaving.

Don't you hear sincerity in my voice when I talk
I am being sincere and genuine in my desire to make things right.

Told you this is my fault, look me in the eyeball
I am taking responsibility for our problems, and I want to look you in the eye to show you how serious I am.

Next time I'm pissed, I'll aim my fist at the dry wall
Next time I am angry, I promise to control my rage and not turn it towards you.

Next time, there will be no next time, I apologize
I promise that there won't be a next time, and I am sorry for everything that I have done.

Even though I know it's lies, I'm tired of the games
Even though I know that we have been lying to ourselves, I am tired of playing games and want to make things right.

I just want her back, I know I'm a liar
I am willing to do whatever it takes to get you back, even though I know that I have been lying to myself.

If she ever tries to fuckin' leave again, I'ma tie her to the bed and set this house on fire
If you try to leave me again, I will do whatever it takes to keep you with me, even if it means being violent and destructive.
