Love The Way You Lie
Eminen Ft. Rihanna Lyrics

On the first page of our story
At the beginning of our relationship, everything seemed perfect and full of promise.

The future seemed so bright
We were optimistic about our future together and believed that our love would conquer all.

Then this thing turned out so evil
Unfortunately, our relationship took a dark turn.

I don't know why I'm still surprised
Despite the warning signs, I am still caught off guard by how bad things have become.

Even angels have their wicked schemes
Even the most seemingly perfect and innocent people can have ulterior motives or harmful actions.

And you take that to new extremes
You have surpassed even my worst expectations of how far someone could take their destructive behavior.

But you'll always be my hero
Despite everything, I still hold on to the idea of who I thought you were and cling to the hope that you will change.

Even though you've lost your mind
I am aware that your behavior is irrational and harmful, but I still love you and believe in your potential to be better.

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
You are not only fueling the flames of our toxic relationship, but you are also indifferent to the pain that it causes me.

But that's all right because I like the way it hurts
Despite the pain, I am addicted to the emotional intensity and passion that our relationship brings.

Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
You are passive and unsupportive when I express my emotions and pain caused by our relationship.

But that's all right because I love the way you lie
I am willing to accept and even be comforted by your lies and false promises in order to stay in this relationship.

Now there's gravel in our voices
Our communication has deteriorated to the point where our conversations are harsh and abrasive.

Glass is shattered from the fight
Our physical and emotional confrontations have caused damage and destruction to our surroundings.

In this tug of war, you'll always win
Our conflicts are constant, and you always come out on top, leaving me feeling powerless and defeated.

Even when I'm right
Even when I have justifiable reasons for disagreement or protest, my opinions are dismissed and ignored.

'Cause you feed me fables from your head
You manipulate and deceive me with your false promises and stories that you make up.

With violent words and empty threats
Your language and behavior are harmful and threatening, but ultimately they are empty and meaningless.

And it's sick that all these battles
Our constant fighting and conflict are damaging and unhealthy for both of us.

Are what keeps me satisfied
Despite the harm caused, the emotional intensity and drama of our relationship fulfills me and keeps me hooked.

So maybe I'm a masochist
I am aware that I am in a harmful and abusive relationship, but I cannot bring myself to leave because I am addicted to the emotional pain.

I try to run but I don't want to ever leave
I am constantly attempting to leave the relationship, but I always find myself coming back because I am emotionally attached and cannot let go.

'Til the walls are goin' up
Our relationship is causing harm to myself and others, and I cannot leave until there are significant consequences and the walls of the situation completely close in on me.

In smoke with all our memories
Our relationship will end in a destructive and all-consuming way, leaving no trace of our memories together.

This morning, you wake, a sun ray hits your face
We can start the day fresh and positive with the warmth and light of the sun on our faces.

Smeared makeup as we lay in the wake of destruction
Despite the sun and fresh start, we are still dealing with the repercussions and aftermath of our destructive relationship.

Hush baby, speak softly, tell me how awfully sorry
You apologize for your harmful behavior but also attempt to silence me and control the situation with your soft and comforting language.

That you pushed me into the coffee table last night
You apologize for a specific incident of physical violence and aggression that occurred in the past.

So I can push you off me
I am hesitant to accept your apology and physical touch because of your history of violence and aggression.

Try and touch me so I can scream at you not to touch me
Our relationship has become so toxic and volatile that even physical touch is met with hostility and aggression.

Run out the room and I'll follow you like a lost puppy
Despite the harm caused by our relationship, I cannot bear to be apart from you and will follow you even when it is harmful to me.

Baby, without you, I'm nothing, I'm so lost, hug me
I am completely dependent on you for my sense of self-worth and cannot function without your affection and attention.

Then tell me how ugly I am, but that you'll always love me
You attempt to control and manipulate my self-esteem by tearing it down with insults while offering false promises of love and support.

Then after that, shove me, in the aftermath of the
After the emotional manipulation and insults, you resort to physical aggression and violence once again.

Destructive path that we're on, two psychopaths but we
Our relationship is harmful and destructive, and our behavior can be categorized as that of two dysfunctional and dangerous individuals.

Know that no matter how many knives we put in each other's backs
Even though we consistently hurt and betray each other, we have a strong and unbreakable bond that keeps us together.

That we'll have each others backs, 'cause we're that lucky
Despite the harm and dysfunction in our relationship, we feel lucky to have each other and are committed to each other.

Together, we move mountains, let's not make mountains out of molehills,
Together, we can accomplish great things and overcome difficulties, but we need to also acknowledge and address the small issues in our relationship before they grow into insurmountable problems.

You hit me twice, yeah, but who's counting?
Physical violence and aggression have become normalized in our relationship, and we no longer bother keeping track of the incidents.

I may have hit you three times, I'm startin' to lose count
I have also become violent in our relationship, and my behavior is becoming more and more frequent and uncontrollable.

But together, we'll live forever, we found the youth fountain
We believe that our love and commitment will last forever, and we have discovered the secret to staying youthful and in love forever.

Our love is crazy, we're nuts, but I refused counseling
Our relationship is dysfunctional and harmful, but we refuse to acknowledge or seek help for our issues and would rather continue in our destructive patterns.

This house is too huge, if you move out I'll burn all two thousand
Our shared living space is too big and carries too many memories, and if you were to leave, I would destroy it out of desperation and despair.

Square feet of it to the ground, ain't shit you can do about it
I am attempting to exert my control and power over the situation by making you feel helpless and powerless in our relationship.

With you I'm in my fuckin' mind, without you, I'm out it
My mental and emotional state is entirely dependent on the state of our relationship, and without you, I feel lost and disconnected from reality.
