I Like The Way

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I had dreams, you're a nightmare
But I loved it, no one else compares
You seem cool, I seem anxious
I am a fool, I won't get over this

We're both not well but it feels right
As far as I can tell
Your crazy matches mine

Oh I like the way you mess with my heart
Baby, I like the way it hurts
Oh I like the things we do in the dark
Baby, I like the way it hurts
Oh I like way it hurts
Oh I like way it hurts

I had plans, you had options
I've got issues, you are all of them
You seem nice, I seem confident
I am a fool, I won't get over this

We're both not well but it feels right
As far as I can tell
Your crazy matches mine

Oh I like the way you mess with my heart
Baby, I like the way it hurts
Oh I like the things we do in the dark
Baby, I like the way it hurts
Oh I like way it hurts
Oh I like way it hurts

We're both not well
But it feels right
As far as I can tell
Your crazy matches mine

Oh I like the way you mess with my heart
Baby, I like the way it hurts
Oh I like the things we do in the dark
Baby, I like the way it hurts

Oh I like the way you mess with my heart
Baby, I like the way it hurts
Oh I like the things we do in the dark




Baby, I like the way it hurts
Oh I like the way it hurts

Why the hell you guys are not so successful?!!!!! I love your songs so much! I'll pray for the time when you are as famous as hell.

@MichaelAres

They kind of are. "Broken" is all they needed to make it big. I hear it everywhere...at least here in Los Angeles.

@mashups9596

Yeah... Broken was #1 on the Alt chart for like 7 weeks... and now they have 2 songs in the Top 10 of the Alt Chart.

I will say, this song should be able to run up the charts, need to get it some radio play.

@regulusvii
