Love The Way You Lie

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn?

Well, that's alright because I like the way it hurts

Just gonna stand there and hear me cry?

Well, 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, there's a steel knife in my windpipe

I can't breathe, but I still fight while I can fight

As long as the wrong feels right, it's like I'm in flight

High off her love, drunk from her hate

It's like I'm huffin' paint, and I love her the more I suffer, I suffocate

And right before I'm about to drown, she resuscitates me

She f- hates me, and I love it

"Wait! Where you going?" "I'm leaving you"

"No, you ain't, come back"

We're running right back, here we go again

It's so insane 'cause when it's going good, it's going great

I'm Superman with the wind at his back, she's Lois Lane

But when it's bad, it's awful

I feel so ashamed, I snapped, "Who's that dude?"

I don't even know his name

I laid hands on her, I'll never stoop so low again

I guess I don't know my own strength

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn?

Well, that's alright because I like the way it hurts

Just gonna stand there and hear me cry?

Well, that's alright because I love the way you lie

I love the way you lie

I love the way you lie

You ever loved somebody so much

You can barely breathe when you're with 'em?

You meet and neither one of you even know what hit 'em

Got that warm fuzzy feelin', yeah, them chills, used to get 'em

Now you're gettin' f- sick of lookin' at 'em?

You swore you'd never hit 'em, never do nothin' to hurt 'em

Now you're in each other's face, spewin' venom in your words when you spit 'em

You push, pull each other's hair, scratch, claw, bit 'em

Throw 'em down, pin 'em

So lost in them moments when you're in 'em

It's the rage that took over, it controls you both

So they say you're best to go your separate ways

Guess that they don't know you 'cause today, that was yesterday

Yesterday is over, it's a different day

Sound like broken records playin' over, but you promised her

Next time, you'll show restraint

You don't get another chance

Life is no Nintendo game, but you lied again

Now you get to watch her leave out the window

Guess that's why they call it windowpane

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn?

Well, that's alright because I like the way it hurts

Just gonna stand there and hear me cry?

Well, that's alright because I love the way you lie

I love the way you lie

I love the way you lie

Now I know we said things, did things that we didn't mean

Then we fall back into the same patterns, same routine

But your temper's just as bad as mine is

You're the same as me, when it comes to love, you're just as blinded

Baby, please come back, it wasn't you, baby, it was me

Maybe our relationship isn't as crazy as it seems

Maybe that's what happens when a tornado meets a volcano

All I know is I love you too much to walk away, though

Come inside, pick up your bags off the sidewalk

Don't you hear sincerity in my voice when I talk?

Told you this is my fault, look me in the eyeball

Next time I'm p-, I'll aim my fist at the drywall

"Next time? There won't be no next time"

I apologize, even though I know it's lies

I'm tired of the games, I just want her back

I know I'm a liar, if she ever tries to f- leave again

I'ma tie her to the bed and set this house on fire

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn?

Well, that's alright because I like the way it hurts

Just gonna stand there and hear me cry?

Well, that's alright, because I love the way you lie

I love the way you lie

I love the way you lie
