Love The Way You Lie

Skylar Grey · The Buried Sessions [2012]

On the first page of our story

The future seemed so bright

Then the saint turned out so evil

I don't know why I'm still surprised

Even angels have their wicked schemes

And you take that to new extremes

But you'll always be my hero

Even though you've lost your mind



[Chorus]

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn

But that's all right because I like the way it hurts

Just gonna stand there and hear me cry

But that's all right because I love the way you lie

I love the way you lie

Ohhh, I love the way you lie



Now there's gravel in our voices

Glass is shattered from the fight

In this tug of war, you'll always win

Even when I'm right

'cause you feed me fables from your hand

With violent words and empty threats

And it's sick that all these battles

Are what keeps me satisfied



[Chorus]

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn

But that's all right because I like the way it hurts

Just gonna stand there and hear me cry

But that's all right because I love the way you lie

I love the way you lie

Ohhh, I love the way you lie

Love the way you lie



So maybe I'm a masochist

I try to run but I don't wanna ever leave

Til the walls are goin' up

In smoke with all our memories



[Chorus]

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn

But that's all right because I like the way it hurts

Just gonna stand there and hear me cry

But that's all right because I love the way you lie

I love the way you lie

I love the way you lie

I love the way you lie
