Love The Way You Lie (feat. Eminem)
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 huffing paint
And I love her the more I suffer, I suffocate
And right before I'm about to drown, she resuscitates me
She fucking 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 him, 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' fucking sick of looking 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 them
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 it's best to go your separate ways
Guess that they don't know ya
'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'd 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
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
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 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 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
Just gonna
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
A Complexidade de um Relacionamento Tóxico em Love The Way You Lie
A música 'Love The Way You Lie', interpretada por Rihanna e com a participação do rapper Eminem, é uma poderosa narrativa sobre a complexidade e a volatilidade de um relacionamento abusivo. A letra da canção descreve a intensidade emocional e a confusão que muitas vezes acompanham essas relações, onde amor e dor se entrelaçam de maneira destrutiva.
A canção começa com Rihanna cantando sobre a indiferença de seu parceiro enquanto ela 'queima', uma metáfora para o sofrimento emocional. A repetição do verso 'I love the way you lie' sugere uma aceitação perturbadora da falsidade e da manipulação dentro do relacionamento. Eminem, por sua vez, traz uma perspectiva introspectiva e crua, descrevendo a luta interna entre o amor e o ódio, e a dificuldade de se afastar de um ciclo vicioso de paixão e violência. A música aborda a ideia de que, mesmo sabendo que a relação é prejudicial, existe uma atração quase viciante que impede o rompimento.
A colaboração entre Rihanna e Eminem é significativa, pois ambos os artistas tiveram experiências pessoais com relacionamentos conturbados, o que traz uma camada adicional de autenticidade à música. 'Love The Way You Lie' não apenas captura a dinâmica destrutiva de um relacionamento abusivo, mas também incita uma discussão mais ampla sobre a importância de reconhecer e abordar essas questões na sociedade. A canção se tornou um sucesso mundial, ressoando com muitos ouvintes que se identificaram com sua mensagem emocionalmente carregada e a representação honesta de um amor que é, ao mesmo tempo, apaixonado e perigoso.
