Lyrics of Love The Way You Lie by Eminem, Rihanna
Show performers
chorus
Rihanna
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
verse
Eminem
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 of love, drunk from my 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 fuckin' hates me, and I love it
"Wait! Where you going?" "I′m leaving you"
"No, you ain't, come back," we're runnin′ 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
chorus
Rihanna
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
hook
Rihanna
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
verse
Eminem
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 feeling, yeah, them chills, used to get 'em
Now you're getting fuckin′ sick of looking at ′em
You swore you'd never hit ′em, never do nothing 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 the moments when you′re in 'em
It′s the rage that took over, it controls you both
So they say, yeah, 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
chorus
Rihanna
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
hook
Rihanna
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
verse
Eminem
Now I know we said things, did things that we didn′t mean
And 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
"Wait up, 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 pissed, I'll aim my fist at the drywall
"Next time? There will 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 fucking leave again
I'ma tie her to the bed and set this house on fire
chorus
Eminem & Rihanna
Rihanna
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
outro
Rihanna
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
