Love The Way You Lie
Urban Method Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn.
That's alright because I like the way it hurts.
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry.
That's alright because I love the way you lie-
I love the way you lie.

I can't tell you what it really is
I can only tell you what it feels like
And right now it feels alright
in my windpipe
I can't breathe but I still fight
As long as the wrong feels right
I got take on the love
Trump all the hate
The more I hate it the more I suffer
In the ground she suffecates me
tShe freakin' hates me
And I love it when
your and I'm leaving you
Wait-come back, we're running right back
Here we go again
It's so insane
It's going good, it's going great
I'm superman
We're bringing it back
She's so insane
My head is wful
I'm just so ashamed
That guy too, I don't even know his name
Guess I don't knwo my own name.

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn.
That's alright because I like the way it hurts.
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry.
That's alright because I love the way you lie-
I love the way you lie.

You ever love somebody so much you can barely breathe
An neither one of you even know what's he's feeling
And chills up his ffeeling
You see him looking at him
Never him 'em Never do nothin' to hurt 'em
In each other's face and your bringing them your words
Spit em push pulls each others head clock em

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn.
That's alright because I like the way it hurts.
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry.
That's alright because I love the way you lie-




I love the way you lie.
I love the way you lie

Overall Meaning

The song "Love the Way You Lie" by Urban Method presents a conflicted and emotional relationship between two individuals. The lyric "Just gonna stand there and watch me burn. That's alright because I like the way it hurts. Just gonna stand there and hear me cry. That's alright because I love the way you lie," suggests that the singer is in an abusive relationship, but still finds pleasure in the pain that their partner causes. This implies a toxic dynamic where the line between love and hurt has become blurred; the singer acknowledges the destructive nature of the relationship but remains unable to move away from it. This is further demonstrated when the refrain repeats throughout the song.


The singer is unable to comprehend the complexity of the relationship as the lyric, "I can't tell you what it really is, I can only tell you what it feels like," suggests. The line "As long as the wrong feels right, I got take on the love, Trump all the hate," implies that the singer has given into and failed to see the signs of an unhealthy relationship. The chorus continues to repeat itself, expressing the singer's feelings, including being unable to breathe but still fighting for the relationship.


The second verse refers to the feelings of intense love, which encompass the air around the individuals concerned. They cannot bear without each other and even though they hurt each other, they stay together. The line, "In each other's face and your bringing them your words, Spit em push pulls each others head clock em," illustrates a violent and combative relationship typified by toxic love.

Not their best performance, but the lead male is always absolutely magnificent. There is something about the power he exudes - it's impossible to look away.
