Eminem Ft. Rihanna Love The Way You Lie Lyrics

"Love the Way You Lie" is a song recorded by American rapper, record producer and actor Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III. He has teamed up with Rihanna for the track.

"Love the Way You Lie" is from Eminem's album "Recovery".

Back in 2010 Rihanna told Access Hollywood that she relates to the song.

"It's something thay, you know, (Eminem and I have) both experienced, you know, on different sides, different ends of the table," the singer said.

"It just was authentic. It was real. It was believable for us to do a record like that,but it was also something that needed to be done, and the way he did it was so clever," Rihanna went on.

She added: "He pretty much just broke down the cycle of domestic violence, and it's something that a lot of people don't have a lot of insight on, so this song is really, really powerful song, and it touches a lot of people."

Check out the lyrics below...

(Intro - Rihanna)
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that's alright because I love the way you lie
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 her love, drunk from her hate,
It's like I'm huffing paint and I love her the more I suffer, I suffocate
And right before I'm about to drown, she resuscitates me
She f*cking 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

(Chorus - Rihanna)
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

(Verse - Eminem)
You ever love 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 you used to get 'em
Now you're getting f*cking sick of looking at 'em
You swore you never hit 'em; never do nothing to hurt 'em
Now you're in each other's face spewing venom in your words when you spit them
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 them
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 playing over but you promised her
Next time you 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 window pane

(Chorus - Rihanna)
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that's alright because I love the way you lie
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 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 Iove 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 pissed, I'll aim my first at the drywall
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*cking leave again
Im' a tie her to the bed and set this house on fire
I'm just gonna

(Outro - Rihanna)
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
