Love The Way You Lie
Kinetics & One Love [Ft. Rihanna] Lyrics

On the first page of our story
At the beginning of our relationship

The future seemed so bright
We had a promising future

Then this thing turned out so evil
But things didn't turn out as expected

I don't know why I'm still surprised
Even though I knew it was going downhill

Even angels have their wicked schemes
Even the nicest people can have malicious intentions

And you take that to new extremes
And you take it to an even higher level

But you'll always be my hero
But I still see you as my savior

Even though you've lost your mind
Even though you've become crazy

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
You're just going to watch me suffer

But that's all right because I like the way it hurts
But it's okay because I strangely enjoy the pain

Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
You're just going to listen to me cry

But that's all right because I love the way you lie
But it's okay because I love the way you deceive me

Now there's gravel in our voices
Now we're speaking harshly to each other

Glass is shattered from the fight
We've caused damage to the surroundings

In this tug of war, you'll always win
In this battle, you always come out on top

Even when I'm right
Even when I have valid points

'Cause you feed me fables from your head
You lie to me

With violent words and empty threats
Using aggressive language and making hollow promises

And it's sick that all these battles
It's twisted that these conflicts

Are what keeps me satisfied
Are what make me content with our relationship

So maybe I'm a masochist
Maybe I enjoy pain

I try to run but I don't want to ever leave
I attempt to escape but I don't want to leave you

'Til the walls are goin' up
Until everything is literally falling apart

In smoke with all our memories
Gone up in flames with all our past experiences

This morning, you wake, a sun ray hits your face
A new day begins

Smeared makeup as we lay in the wake of destruction
Signs of the previous night's chaos are still present

Hush baby, speak softly, tell me how awfully sorry
Let's try to smooth things over

That you pushed me into the coffee table last night
That you did something physical to me

So I can push you off me
I want you off of me

Try and touch me so I can scream at you not to touch me
Any attempt at intimacy will result in my rejection

Run out the room and I'll follow you like a lost puppy
I will still chase after you despite everything

Baby, without you, I'm nothing, I'm so lost, hug me
I'm nothing without you, hold me

Then tell me how ugly I am, but that you'll always love me
Insult me, but reassure me that you still love me

Then after that, shove me, in the aftermath of the
Then push me, after everything

Destructive path that we're on, two psychopaths but we
The path of destruction we're proceeding on, we're both crazy

Know that no matter how many knives we put in each other's backs
Realize that no matter how much we hurt each other

That we'll have each other's backs, 'cause we're that lucky
We'll still be there for each other, somehow

Together, we move mountains, let's not make mountains out of molehills
We can accomplish great things together, so let's not overreact to small issues

You hit me twice, yeah, but who's counting?
You've physically assaulted me twice, but let's not keep a tally

I may have hit you three times, I'm startin' to lose count
I've probably hit you more than that, I can't even remember

But together, we'll live forever, we found the youth fountain
But we'll stay together forever, we've found a way to stay young

Our love is crazy, we're nuts, but I refused counseling
Our relationship is insane, we're both mentally unstable, but I reject the idea of getting help

This house is too huge, if you move out I'll burn all two thousand
This house is too big, if you move out I'll destroy it all

Square feet of it to the ground, ain't shit you can do about it
There's nothing you can do to stop me

'Cause with you I'm in my fuckin' mind, without you, I'm out it
Because of you, I'm going insane, without you, I'm lost

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
You're just going to watch me suffer

But that's all right because I like the way it hurts
But it's okay because I strangely enjoy the pain

Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
You're just going to listen to me cry

But that's all right because I love the way you lie
But it's okay because I love the way you deceive me

I love the way you lie
I love the way you manipulate me

Oh, I love the way you lie
Oh, how I love being deceived by you
