Love the Way You Lie, Pt. III (Original Demo)

[Verse 1]

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?

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

Just gonna stand there and hear me cry?

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

I love the way you lie

I love the way you lie

[Verse 2]

Now there's gravel in our voices

And glasses shattered from the fight

In this tug of war, you always win

Even when I'm right

'Cause you feed me fables from your head

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?

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

Just gonna stand there and hear me cry?

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

I love the way you lie

I love the way you lie

[Bridge]

So maybe I'm a masochist

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

'Til the walls are going up

In smoke with all our memories

[Chorus]

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn?

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

Just gonna stand there and hear me cry?

Well, 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
