Love the Way You Lie (American Idol Performance)
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
Well thats alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
Well, thats alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I cant tell you what it really is, I can only tell you what it feels like
And right now theres a steel knife in my windpipe
I cant breathe but I still fight while I can fight
As long as the wrong feels right its like Im in flight
High off of love, drunk from my hate
Its like Im huffin paint and I love it, the more I suffer
I suffocate and right before Im about to drown, she resuscitates me
She ****** hates me, and I love it
Wait, where you going? Im leaving you, no, you aint
Come back, were running right back, here we go again
Its so insane, cause when its going good, its going great
Im Superman with the wind at his back
Shes Lois Lane but when its bad, its awful, I feel so ashamed
I snap, 'Whos that dude?', I dont even know his name
I laid hands on her, I never stoop so low again
I guess I dont know my own strength
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
Well thats alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
Well, thats alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
You ever love somebody so much, you could barely breathe when you with em?
You meet, and neither one of you even know it hit em
Got that warm fuzzy feeling, yeah, them chills, used to get em
Now youre gettin ****** sick of lookin at em
You swore youd never hit em, never do nothing to hurt em
Now youre in each others face spewing venom in your words when you spit em
You push, pull each others hair, scratch, claw, bit em
Throw em down, pin em, so lost in the moments when youre in em
Its the race that took over, it controls you both
So they say youd best to go your separate ways, guess that they dont know ya
Cause today, that was yesterday, yesterday is over, its a different day
Sound like broken records playing over
But you promised her, next time youd show restraint
You dont get another chance, life is no Nintendo game
But you lied again, now you get to watch her leave out the window
Guess thats why they call it 'window pane'
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
Well thats alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
Well thats 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 didnt mean
And we fall back into the same patterns, same routine
But your tempers just as bad as mine is, youre the same as me
But when it comes to love, youre just as blinded
Baby, please come back, it wasn't you, baby, it was me
Maybe our relationship isnt as crazy as it seems
Maybe thats 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
Dont you hear sincerity in my voice when I talk?
Told you this is my fault, look me in the eyeball
Next time Im pissed, Ill aim my fist at the drywall
Next time? There wont be no next time
I apologize, even though I know its lies
Im tired of the games, I just want her back, I know Im a liar
If she ever tries to ****** leave again, Ima tie her to the bed
And set this house on fire
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
Well thats alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
Well thats alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
