Love The Way You Lie Part. 2
Rihanna (Feat. Eminem) Lyrics

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

The future seemed so bright
We were optimistic about our future together

Then this thing turned out so evil
But then our relationship turned toxic and unhealthy

I don't know why I'm still surprised
I am confused as to why I continue to be surprised by this

Even angels have their wicked schemes
Even those who seem innocent can be manipulative

And you take that to new extremes
You take manipulation to a whole new level

But you'll always be my hero
Despite everything, I still see you as my hero

Even though you've lost your mind
Even though you're mentally unstable

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 I am okay with it because the pain is better than feeling nothing at all

Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
You won't even comfort me when I'm upset

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

Now there's gravel in our voices
Our communication has deteriorated

Glass is shattered from the fight
There is physical destruction from our fights

In this tug of war, you'll always win
In our arguments, you will always come out on top

Even when I'm right
Even when I present valid arguments and points

'Cause you feed me fables from your head
You lie to me and manipulate me with false stories

With violent words and empty threats
You use violent language and empty threats to control me

And it's sick that all these battles
It's unhealthy and disturbing that we have these constant battles

Are what keeps me satisfied
But at the same time, it's what satisfies me

So maybe I'm a masochist
Maybe I enjoy the pain and suffering in our relationship

I try to run but I don't want to ever leave
I want to leave but at the same time, I don't want to lose you

'Til the walls are goin' up
Until there is complete destruction and no way of salvaging our relationship

In smoke with all our memories
Everything we had together will be gone

This morning, you wake, a sun ray hits your face
The morning after a fight when the reality of what happened is hitting us

Smeared makeup as we lay in the wake of destruction
Evidence of the physical altercation remains on our faces

Hush baby, speak softly, tell me how awfully sorry
You try to apologize and calm me down

That you pushed me into the coffee table last night
You admit to causing harm to me in the previous night's fight

So I can push you off me
I want to push you away and get away from you

Try and touch me so I can scream at you not to touch me
If you try to touch me, I will yell at you to stop

Run out the room and I'll follow you like a lost puppy
You will always have control over me and I will follow you blindly

Baby, without you, I'm nothing, I'm so lost, hug me
I am so dependent on you that I don't know who I am without you, please comfort me

Then tell me how ugly I am, but that you'll always love me
Then insult me but reassure me that you still love me despite my flaws

Then after that, shove me, in the aftermath of the
Then after reassuring me, you will become aggressive again

Destructive path that we're on, two psychopaths but we
Our relationship is a destructive and unhealthy cycle

Know that no matter how many knives we put in each other's backs
We know that we will continue to hurt each other

That we'll have each others backs, 'cause we're that lucky
But we will continue to stay together and support each other, despite our toxic cycle

Together, we move mountains, let's not make mountains out of molehills,
We are capable of great things together, let's not let small issues become major problems

You hit me twice, yeah, but who's counting?
You have physically harmed me multiple times but neither of us seem to care

I may have hit you three times, I'm startin' to lose count
I have also resorted to violence and it has become a pattern

But together, we'll live forever, we found the youth fountain
We believe that our love will last forever, even though it's destructive

Our love is crazy, we're nuts, but I refused counseling
Our love is unhealthy and obsessive, but I am unwilling to seek help

This house is too huge, if you move out I'll burn all two thousand
I am so fixated on keeping you that I would destroy our home if you were to leave

Square feet of it to the ground, ain't shit you can do about it
I am willing to resort to extreme measures to keep you with me

With you I'm in my fuckin' mind, without you, I'm out it
When I am with you, I feel sane and in control, but without you, I am lost

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
You continue to watch me suffer and do nothing to stop it

But that's all right because I like the way it hurts
But I am okay with it because the pain is better than feeling nothing at all

Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
You won't even comfort me when I'm upset

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

I love the way you lie
I love the way you manipulate and control me, despite the toxicity of our relationship

Oh, I love the way you lie
My love for you is so strong that I am willing to ignore the destructive nature of our relationship

I love the way you lie
I am deeply in love with you, despite the harmful effects of our relationship

I love the way you lie
My love for you is so strong that I am unable to leave, even though it's unhealthy
