Love The Way You Lie
Various Artists Lyrics

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
You are just going to stand there and watch me suffer and be destroyed.

But that's alright because I like the way it hurts
But that's okay with me because I derive pleasure from the pain and suffering.

Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
You are just going to stand there and listen to me cry.

But that's alright because I love the way you lie
But that's okay with me because I am in love with the way you deceive and manipulate me.

I love the way you lie
I am deeply infatuated with the way you consistently lie to me.

I can't tell you what it really is
I am unable to explain the true nature of this situation.

I can only tell you what it feels like
All I can communicate is how this situation emotionally affects me.

And right now there's a steel knife in my windpipe
At this moment, I feel suffocated and in extreme emotional pain.

I can't breathe but I still fight while I can fight
I feel trapped and overwhelmed, yet I continue to struggle and resist.

As long as the wrong feels right it's like I'm in flight
Even though I know what is happening is not right, it gives me a sense of escape and adrenaline.

High off her love, drunk from her hate
I am intoxicated by her affection for me, but also harmed by her intense animosity.

It's like I'm huffing paint and I love her the more I suffer, I suffocate
Her presence is addictive and destructive, and I find myself more attached the more I endure pain and suffocation.

And right before I'm about to drown, she resuscitates me
Just as I am about to succumb to the overwhelming despair, she brings me back to life.

She fucking hates me and I love it
She despises me intensely, and strangely, I take pleasure in it.

Wait! Where you going?
Wait! Where are you going?

I'm leaving you!
I am ending our relationship!

No you ain't. Come back.
No, you are not leaving. Please come back to me.

We're running right back.
We keep returning to each other, unable to break free from the cycle.

Here we go again
We are repeating the same patterns and behaviors once again.

It's so insane cause when it's going good, it's going great
It is incredibly chaotic because when our relationship is going well, it is amazing.

I'm Superman with the wind at his back, she's Lois Lane
I feel invincible and powerful, while she assumes the role of a damsel in distress.

But when it's bad it's awful, I feel so ashamed I snapped
But when things turn sour, it becomes unbearable and I feel guilty for losing control.

Who's that dude?
Who is that guy she is involved with?

I don't even know his name.
I don't even know the identity of the person she is with.

I laid hands on her, I'll never stoop so low again
I physically harmed her, and I vow to never sink to such a despicable level again.

I guess I don't know my own strength
I underestimated the power and damage I am capable of inflicting.

You ever love somebody so much you can barely breathe when you're with 'em
Have you ever loved someone so intensely that being around them leaves you breathless?

You meet and neither one of you even know what hit 'em
You meet and neither of you realize the impact that love will have on your lives.

Got that warm fuzzy feeling
You experience a comforting and pleasant sensation.

Yeah, them chills you used to get 'em
Yes, those shivers of excitement that you used to experience.

Now you're getting fucking sick of looking at 'em
Now, you are becoming extremely tired and disgusted by their presence.

You swore you'd never hit 'em; never do nothing to hurt 'em
You promised yourself that you would never harm them or cause them any pain.

Now you're in each other's face spewing venom in your words when you spit them
But now, you find yourselves engaged in confrontations, exchanging hurtful and toxic words.

You push, pull each other's hair, scratch, claw, bit 'em
You engage in physical altercations, pulling hair, scratching, clawing, and biting each other.

Throw 'em down, pin 'em
You forcefully throw each other to the ground and try to restrain one another.

So lost in the moments when you're in them
In those moments, you become completely consumed and immersed in the chaos and intensity of the situation.

It's the rage that took over, it controls you both
It is the overwhelming anger that completely overwhelms and manipulates both of you.

So they say you're best to go your separate ways
Others suggest that it would be best for both of you to end the relationship and part ways.

Guess that they don't know you 'cause today that was yesterday
But those people do not truly understand your dynamic, as they fail to comprehend that yesterday was just like today.

Yesterday is over, it's a different day
The past is behind us, and today brings a fresh start and new possibilities.

Sound like broken records playing over but you promised her
It may sound repetitive, like a broken record playing the same old tune, but you made promises to her.

Next time you show restraint
Next time, exhibit self-control and restraint.

You don't get another chance
You will not be given another opportunity to make amends.

Life is no Nintendo game
Life is not a simple video game where you can restart and try again.

But you lied again
But once again, you lied.

Now you get to watch her leave out the window
Now, you have to watch her walk away, disappearing through the window.

Guess that's why they call it window pane
Perhaps that is why they refer to it as a 'window pane,' a visual representation of her departure.

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

And we fall back into the same patterns, same routine
And we find ourselves repeating the same behaviors and following the same routine.

But your temper's just as bad as mine is
But your anger and temper are just as intense as mine.

You're the same as me
You share the same qualities and flaws as me.

When it comes to love you're just as blinded
When it comes to love, you are equally blinded to the truth and reality of our situation.

Baby, please come back
Darling, please return to me.

It wasn't you, baby it was me
The problems in our relationship were not your fault, it was my own shortcomings.

Maybe our relationship isn't as crazy as it seems
Perhaps our relationship is not as chaotic and irrational as it appears.

Maybe that's what happens when a tornado meets a volcano
Maybe this is what occurs when two extremely volatile and destructive forces collide.

All I know is I love you too much to walk away though
Nevertheless, all I know is that I love you too deeply to simply walk away from our relationship.

Come inside, pick up your bags off the sidewalk
Come back into the house, collect your belongings from the pavement outside.

Don't you hear sincerity in my voice when I talk
Can't you hear the genuine and sincere tone in my voice when I speak to you?

Told you this is my fault
I admitted that this situation is entirely my own fault.

Look me in the eyeball
Look directly into my eyes.

Next time I'm pissed, I'll aim my fist at the drywall
Next time I am angry, I will direct my aggression towards punching the wall.

Next time? There won't be no next time!
But there won't be a next time because I will not allow our relationship to reach that point again!

I apologize even though I know its lies
I offer my apologies, even though I am aware that they are insincere and false.

I'm tired of the games I just want her back
I am exhausted from playing these games, I simply desire her return.

I know I'm a liar
I acknowledge that I am a dishonest person.

If she ever tries to fucking leave again
If she ever attempts to leave once more.

Im'a tie her to the bed and set this house on fire
I will restrain her to the bed and set the entire house ablaze.

I'm just gonna
I am prepared to take extreme actions.
